The new paradigm is a shift from internal
community building and fellowship to extending investment in the
mental health and well being of employees as they perform fiduciary
and contracted duties in a hazardous external environment. The impact
on a community in which corporations operate is today an extended
sphere of influence.
Providing financial resources to train
employees and members of the community to help those affected by
trauma is today a symbiotic relationship and not distinct as it
was in the past.
Corporations investing in the future realize that the change in
employee and employer relationships has shifted to the degree that
responsibilities to ensure productivity, safety and profitability
has entered an area of uncommon practices.
Corporations like Levi's, Liz Claiborne,
Bank of America and Shell Oil to name a few, have employed significant
populations in foreign countries. Increasingly the separation of
issues between the employee groups of global companies in the US
and abroad has diminished in the wake of September 11th. Our information
and data collected in the field in communities that have been effected
by this type of trauma for decades can be transferred back to the
United States to help train human resources professionals, executives
and managers to effectively maintain their global work force in
a healthy productive way.
