Ann: What particularly stood out to you today?

Sara: The stories are very much grounded in real-life experience. We hear what people have actually done in their workplaces, and it is interesting to see how much we can learn from other organisations. There is a lot we have in common when it comes to working under pressure and creating a good psychosocial work environment. My colleague is here with me, and we have already started talking about what we can use back at work.

Ann: Is there anything in particular you feel inspired to take action on?

Sara: Psychological first aid. We have discussed it before, but we have not yet worked out exactly how to approach it. We bought the book to take back with us, and we want to see whether there are tools and procedures we can start working with together with our employees. We manage some of them remotely and are not always there in person. That is why it is important that they are equipped to support one another, and that we as leaders are able to support them in doing so.

Ann: What does it mean to meet people from other professional fields?

Sara: It is interesting to discover how much we have to talk about, even though our day-to-day work is very different. And it is also reassuring to have some of the things we are already doing confirmed. My colleague and I have also talked about how we are actually on the right track.
