Trauma-informed workplace practice resources
Hello all,
I'm looking to deepen my knowledge, understanding and application of trauma-informed approaches in the workplace. If you have any go-to resources, courses, programs, or even practitioners you’ve learned from on this topic I’d be so grateful for your recommendations.
Thanks in advance for your insights and support!

Accommodating Introverts and Extroverts in the Workplace
Organizations are often composed of individuals with different personalities; typically dichotomized as introverts and extroverts. As individuals with these different personality types often communicate and work in contrasting ways, this can become a barrier in some instances (e.g. collaborative teamwork). Please share how you have accommodated both introverted and extroverted individuals to ensure they are included, comfortable, and valued in the workplace.

Mental Health in the Workplace
Statistics from the Government of Canada stated that 47% of Canadians said their most stressful part of their daily life is their work. However, only 23% of workers are comfortable discussing this with their employers. What are some ways to support workers to discuss their mental health needs in the workplace?

Customizing the plan-The critical reflection I had from this learning is that each workforce is different and you really need to do an assessment to understand the needs, wants, and demographics of the organization before creating a plan. Providing access to tools/training/resources to employees that don't buy in or want to participate will not be successful. The key thing I believe is helping people understand the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle and work-life balance. When people see the benefits and how it impacts them personally, they are more willing to take part. Digging in deeper into why someone may not be utilizing the resources. Is it due to time constraints and job pressures, access to showers after physical activity, physical barriers one may have. Ensuring we make sure the obstacles are reduced. Are their modifications available? wheel chair access? etc. Creating a team culture I believe would greatly enhance participation. Perhaps creating a couple different groups and allowing them each week to alternate and decide on a group activity for physical and mental exercise with healthy prizes for the winning team. Such items as free passes to yoga or a fitness class, perhaps reflexology or reiki gift cards, or gift cards for healthy restaurants. Customizing the plan to the workforce and allowing them to be engaged and take accountability I feel will be a big success factor when incorporating a wellness plan

Hi Matthew,
I saw this shared on LinkedIn awhile back and it really resonated with me as a leader. LFNotes - #1.pdf (hubspotusercontent10.net)
I have since purchased the book (and a few others) to dig further into this topic.
Hope that helps!
