Personal Working Environment Review for Remote Workers

Trauma-informed care (TIC) is based on growing knowledge about the negative impact of trauma. Trauma is pervasive in society and among service recipients and the workforce. The physical environment (e.g., parking lot, offices, lobby, outdoor spaces) can retraumatize individuals, affecting their willingness to participate and engage. When implementing TIC at an organizational level, it is important to consider how the personal working environment of remote workers can promote or hinder safety and well-being.
