Hold a De-brief
A de-brief is a meeting where the people involved in an incident get together to review and discuss what happened. The meeting allows you and your workforce to mark the end of a period of disruption and look forward to a return to normality. It also provides an opportunity to voice any issues that arose and give and receive feedback. During a de-brief, you can identify lessons that may make a reoccurrence of the situation less likely or the response better if something similar happens again.
Most of all, a de-brief is an opportunity to recognise that you’ve all made it through a difficult patch and have done so together. Say thank you to the people involved and acknowledge their personal sacrifices.
