The Hidden Cost of Work: Anxiety, PTSD & Psychological Safety
Description
In this episode of Just 4 Friends Trying 2 Figure Out HR, we dive deep into Workplace Trauma & Psychological Safety—the unspoken stressors that leave employees anxious, burned out, and questioning their job security.
From the panic-inducing “We need to talk” meeting requests to the silent dread of waiting for a response after asking, “Am I getting fired?”, we explore the everyday moments that create workplace PTSD. We also tackle tough conversations like telling someone they won’t be getting paid, forced business trips and stressful team-building exercises.
With burnout on the rise, we ask: How does psychological safety fit into all of this? And more importantly—what can HR and leadership do to create a work environment that doesn’t feel like a constant battle for survival?
Join us as we share real experiences, HR insights, and strategies to make work a little less traumatic.
