Mistakes happen, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. Worse, the same mistakes happen over and over again, making our learning curve look pretty bad. This dynamic is no different in teams, leaving leaders scratching their heads about what went wrong and what they could do differently in the future. In this episode, two leaders share their own experiences: Thomas Loosen, systemic therapist and former head of the HRO (high reliability organisation) centre at the Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant in Switzerland, meets actress Franziska Ball, who takes on the role of the other manager. They start by describing the problem and what helped them resolve it over time.

How can leaders and teams help shape a sustainable return to work after a mental health crisis? In this episode, we discuss with Ute Schröder, an expert in occupational integration management, the different phases of the reintegration process and related best practices for managers and teams. Contrary to popular belief, this process does not start on the first day back to work, but rather while the employee is still on sick leave. The active involvement of various stakeholders over a longer time period, including direct supervisors, team members, and occupational health professionals, is therefore required. Ute Schröder also reports on her research and transfer projects with the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Germany.
