How are you preparing staff for the changes coming with Next Generation 9-1-1
The arrival of NG9-1-1 will save thousands of lives each year, but it is also a significant change from legacy 9-1-1. Like employees in any industry, call takers and dispatchers are nervous about these changes.
How will my job change?
Will I see disturbing images?
Will I be overwhelmed?
Will I lose my job?
Carbyne recognizes the stress that the arrival of NG9-1-1 can put on call takers. To provide holistic support to our clients, and to offer our clients programs specifically designed to ease the transition to NG911, we have partnered with Dr. Michelle Lilly.
Dr. Lilly is the leading trauma and mental health researcher in the 9-1-1 industry, a licensed clinical psychologist, and educator in the field of trauma and stress.
The hard costs of workplace stress:
Employee turnover
Job performance
Unwillingness to take on new tasks and responsibilities
Absenteeism
