“…Based on our respondents’ comments, stigma associated with reporting work-related injuries was widespread. Often stigmas are multi-factorial and related to mental health [ 23 ], though mental health stigmas in the workplace have received insufficient research attention [ 24 ]. Our participants were not asked to respond in a mental health context, though stigmas often have mental health manifestations [ 23 ].…”

Background Mild traumatic brain injuries receive voluminous attention in the research literature, but this is confined almost entirely to sports and military contexts. As an occupation, performing stunts in film, television, and entertainment places the head at high risk of repetitive impact and whiplash, but stunt performers do not enjoy the same level of healthcare supervision and access as that provided to sports participants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate stunt performers’ qualitative perceptions of reporting and management of head trauma in their industry. Methods After giving their informed consent, 87 motion picture and television stunt performers responded to a query about their views of ways to improve how stunt performers’ occupational head trauma—specifically head impacts and head whips that could cause a concussion—are reported and managed. We analyzed their responses via content and thematic analyses. Two researchers independently marked and categorized key words, phrases, and texts to identify codes that described participants’ comments. They then revised, discussed, and resolved coding discrepancies through consensus to establish inter-coder reliability. Next, we identified thematic patterns that described participants’ understanding of the stunt performer industry and what must change to facilitate reporting of head trauma. We derived themes from data that occurred multiple times, both within and across short answer responses. Results We identified three primary themes cited by the stunt performers as needs in their industry: (1) Need to Reduce the Stigma of Reporting a Stunt-Related Injury, (2) Need to Eliminate the “Cowboy Culture,” and (3) Need to Improve the Quality of the Work Environment. Conclusions Stunt performers are crucial members of a global entertainment industry valued at approximately US$100 billion annually. A large segment of the world’s population consumes their work in motion pictures, television, and live entertainment. When they are given an anonymous opportunity to speak, stunt performers offer insight into and recommendations for industry changes—primarily cultural and educational in nature—that could improve their physical and mental health, career longevity, and employability when they are confronted with head trauma.

“…Stigmatization of individuals with mental health disorders is often based on wrong and distorted information and negative attitudes like stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination in the workplace [53]. This results in delays in help seeking, poor access to health services, fear, substandard treatment, exclusion, and a higher risk of human rights violations for individuals [54].…”

Recent global events, including the pandemic, social unrest, geopolitical instabilities, automation risk, and socio-economic upheavals, have amplified challenges and stressors that deplete human energy. Coupled with work-related stress, these factors substantially strain the invaluable human capital that fuels organizational productivity. Many scholars acknowledge the existence of a global human energy crisis. While industry may not be in a position to control these stressors, leaders and managers can positively influence employee experience by optimizing workforce energy. Via a systematic literature review adhering to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 guidelines, this study aims to explore (1) the concept of human energy and its importance in a human-centered industry, (2) promoting a culture of human energy management within an organizational context, and (3) the existing approaches and strategies that manage human energy. The search in two databases, Scopus and Web of Science, found 1084 papers. After identification and screening, 86 documents remained, and 32 papers was retained after title, keyword, and abstract assessment. Subsequently, a full-text analysis yielded 18 papers included in the review. This study emphasizes industry’s potential to address a societal challenge, “the human energy crisis”, aligning with the European Union’s vision of a sustainable and resilient society.
