Welcome, T.E.A.M. Client Companies! > Onsite Support Services

T.E.A.M. provides three types of service to assist employees who have been impacted by significant events that are in some way connected to the workplace: Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD), Traumatic Event Interventions (TEI), and Workforce Transition Meetings. All of these services involve onsite meetings with employees to aid them in adjusting to and coping with something that happened at, or to someone connected with, the worksite.

Critical Incident Stress Debriefings
Critical Incident Stress Debriefings are conducted for employees who have witnessed a crisis or traumatic event at the workplace. Examples of critical incidents include:

• Death or severe injury of an employee that occurs at work
• Workplace violence (e.g., disgruntled employee who opens fire with a gun)
• Natural disaster (e.g., tornado)
• Bank robbery (for bank employees who were at work during the robbery)

Traumatic Event Interventions
Traumatic Event Interventions occur following incidents that have not been directly experienced by employees at work but rather, they learn of incident from someone else. Examples of traumatic events include:

• Injury of an employee on another shift
• Death of an employee outside of work
• Death of an employee’s child (especially in small towns, or with a close-knit workforce)
• Dismissal of a high level company employee

Workplace Transition Meetings
T.E.A.M. will conduct onsite employee meetings when a company is planning significant manpower reductions or facility closings. Such interventions perform several functions for employees:

• Gives them an opportunity to express their feelings;
• Offers an avenue for them to learn about the normal thoughts and emotions that they may experience as the layoff or termination process progresses; and
• Provides emotional support and stability for them upon learning about this significant life change—that is, losing their jobs.
