Protecting the Mental Wellbeing of Corporate Investigators: Preventing, Mitigating, and Responding to Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma
Protecting the Mental Wellbeing of Corporate Investigators: Preventing, Mitigating, and Responding to Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma
Details
Vicarious trauma is a type of second-hand psychological response most often associated with first responders and front-line crisis workers. Although corporate incident investigators and HR and compliance professionals are usually not the first on the scene, they frequently find themselves listening to both victims and accused people who recount what could be the worst days of their professional lives.
There is no doubt that the case management process can be stressful and sometimes triggering for those who are managing it. The personal and organizational impacts can include compromised risk assessment and investigations, investigator burnout and absenteeism, and a less healthy workplace overall.
Join expert workplace investigator Ken McCarthy as he shares his experience with vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue resulting from his involvement in workplace investigations.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How to assess trauma risks to investigators, HR, and compliance professionals and business leaders
- How to implement measures that prevent, mitigate, and respond to compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma
- How best practices in case management can help to ease the emotional burden on investigators
