Trigger Warning: This podcast episode discusses some experiences with suicide, self-harm and violence.

In this eye-opening podcast episode, our host and CX Industry expert, Dave D' Arcy is joined by Co-Founder of Rise of Happiness and ex-police officer, Rob Hosking. Together they discussed the importance of caring and paying attention to your employees' mental health, regardless of the field you work in.

The topics included:

• The lack of support you get as a police officer amid the sheer amount of trauma that you witness. (Interesting fact: During their careers, each police officer is likely to encounter between 400 to 600 traumatic events. Most citizens will experience between three or four in their lifetime)
• The effects the job had on mental health
• What changed, what was the turning point.
• How I went from catching “bad guys” to TEDx speaker
