When crises or traumas occur in a workplace, employees can experience mild to significant emotional reactions including fear, guilt, anger, confusion and grief. Evidence suggests that in-person intervention within 24 – 48 hours of the event can help those involved cope more effectively with the trauma or crisis.

The Employee Assistance Network (EAN) has professionals specifically trained in crisis management and has provided this type of intervention to organizations following bank robberies, employee deaths, severe workplace accidents and natural disasters. EAN can provide onsite support for the workplace within hours of such an event to help support employees in the moment as well as identify those that would benefit from ongoing services.
