Psychological Crisis Response

Helping difficult situations proceed more easily

In the context of lay-offs, on the day or subsequently there may be a need for psychological crisis response, a hotline and debriefing.

Our psychologists and social workers have extensive experience in crisis management, tackling lay-offs and Newplacement. They help make difficult situations proceed more easily.

Our solutions include:

Training leaders to tackle responses and situations
Presence on the day of the lay-offs
Debriefing of managers and employees
Presence during the days following the lay-offs to support the working environment and trust
A psychological hotline for particularly vulnerable employees
Sessions with a psychologist for staff and managers as needed
Subsequent measures to restore confidence and the mental health environment

The remaining employees also need support:

The individuals directly affected by the lay-offs are normally regarded as ‘victims of the lay-off’. But the employees who remain are equally ‘victims’ and need support. Studies show that remaining employees are significantly affected by lay-offs. This is how:

Sorrow for the loss of good colleagues
Feelings of guilt for being let off the hook
Uncertainty
Anxiety and insecurity in terms of the future
Increasing workload and stress
Nervousness about making mistakes
Lack of confidence in the management
Deterioration in commitment and effort
