When businesses and bureaucracies focus on meeting EDI targets, management becomes distracted from the really important job of the 'care and maintenance' of their employees. The crashing of morale in first responders is avoidable but seemingly ignored. A simple case in point is the banning of the 'wet debrief' by WA police officers. No more the off duty destressing by police men and women over a beer at the station. Traumatic experiences are carried home, untreated. Duty of Care gets an upgrade from guidance to dogma.
