And last but not least we spoke to Dr Susan Steinman - founder and chairperson of the Workplace Dignity Institute. We were talking about work trauma and how to deal with it. According to experts Trauma isn't the same as being stressed, however it is a specific event that triggers an intense emotional response of helplessness, terror or horror. Symptoms includes flashbacks, persistent anxiety, sleep disturbance, distraction, nervousness and a desire to avoid stimuli associated with the event. But effective trauma management in the workplace can reduce staff absence and lead to better health among employees. Dr Steinman explained more. If you want more information go to www.worktrauma.org
