The
greatest and most immediate need for in-jeopardy
individuals and families (facing, caught up in, and/or
recovering from conflicts with governmental agencies
and/or employers) is someone or some place to turn to
that can give: 1) some solid empathetic grounding; 2)
some realistic expectations; and,3) concrete steps to
cope with and find their way through. Formal mentorship
can be developed in or promoted through almost limitless
settings and missions.
|
Sensitization
to the issues and needs of life and job in-jeopardy
individuals and families can be developed for law firms, government agencies,
and a whole range of related de facto caregivers that must both rely on and serve
such clients. Relevant skills and protocols can be
established for all support service providers encountering
the specific needs, collateral damage, and emotional /
behavioral fallout for these individuals and families in
all settings providing aid for them.
|
Even with
the best laid plans and even established infrastructure for handling in-jeopardy
and officially designated whistleblower clients in
place, the need for initial to ongoing emotionally
grounded and informed support for the support service or
related care givers
can be the crucial difference highly stressed efforts
and failure on one hand or solidly effective results and
optimal well being for both the clients involved and the
caregivers themselves on the other.
|
There are
two tandem broad
applications for discussing and serving organizational
function related to reasonable transparency,
effective problem identification and resolution, and
sound communication practices to ensure smooth
functioning and minimal call for unnecessary conflict or
whistle blowing to begin with. This
includes proactive preventative support for
organizations themselves and the establishment of safe
course resources for concerned or at-risk employees in
proactively evaluating and correcting circumstances for
needed action.
|
In some
cases, digging through and making sense of the almost
endlessly diverse forms of information and data related
to discovery, depositions, and litigation is straight
forward and met with relative cooperation from the in
question. In other cases, particularly those involving
filing Qui Tam lawsuits with and on behalf of the
government,, the more typical response is a tsunami of
material intended to overwhelm, bury, and distract that
requires particular skill in sifting the relevant from
the useless and in making sense of it all.
|
Legislative
planning and design related to conflict resolution in
the workplace (up to and including formal 'whistle blowing')
must address the accountability of companies and
employers, the reasonable protection of employees, and
the equally reasonable prevention of frivolous
complaints and litigious abuses. To be relevant, they
need to avoid losing sight of the human experience and
needs of those protected and served. To be executable,
they need to address the myriad interests, resources,
and needs of shareholders and decision makers involved.
