Critical Incidents impact an entire
organization and typically impede productivity. A Critical Incident
is any situation that causes a work group to experience strong
reactions that have the potential to interfere with present or
future productivity. CIGNA’s Critical Incident Response
services are immediately available to address issues of crisis that
result from:
* Natural disasters
* Assaults
* Employee deaths/serious illnesses
* Robberies
* Major organizational change
* Industrial accidents
* Other traumatic events
* Mass transportation accidents
* Diagnosis of a serious illness
* Witness to accidents or trauma
Critical Incident Response services are immediately available
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Your management
staff simply calls the toll free EAP access number to report a
Critical Incident. As a first step, we conduct a crisis management
consultation with the manager reporting the incident. We discuss the
specifics of the incident and our team works with the manager to
determine an appropriate level of response.
