Most workplaces still treat trauma as a private issue employees should manage outside work. But what if trauma is already shaping performance, decision-making, conflict, retention and burnout across your organisation – whether leaders recognise it or not.
New research from McKinsey makes the case for trauma-informed leadership as core to organisational performance. At PTSD UK, we see what happens when workplaces get this right, and crucially, what happens when they don’t. With one in three employees having experienced trauma, and managers shaping mental health more than doctors or therapists, this isn’t optional any more.
