Restorative Practices at Work: Relational Tools for Culture Change

Foster a more connected, engaged, and accountable workplace culture.

Workplaces thrive where there is a culture of trust, a shared vision, and a sense of value. In these types of environments, we see increases in employee retention, wellness, and overall performance. With a focus on applicability in your own workplace, participants in this event will develop knowledge and skills to proactively cultivate a positive workplace culture.

With an emphasis on relationships and emotional intelligence, participants will explore tools to build trust, strengthen engagement, and promote mutual accountability. Participants will leave knowing how to assess their current workplace culture and design actionable strategies to support positive and sustainable culture change. In the context of this learning environment, the IIRP will be using Schein's Organizational Model and definition of workplace culture as a group's accumulated shared learning as it solves problems of external adaptation and internal integration. (Schein, E. H., & Schein, P., 2017)

Participants can expect to:

• Learn how and why engagement drives culture.
• Identify techniques to create brave spaces that foster trust and authenticity.
• Explore how best to accomplish mutual accountability and identify needed norms.
• Discuss how to increase the level and quality of workplace engagement.
• Evaluate which concepts from restorative practices are best suited for immediate implementation and outline next steps.

Participants will receive a copy of Heart Strong Work: Improving Workplace Culture with their registration. 

Designed for:

Aspiring leaders, tenured leaders, team leads, managers, supervisors, climate and culture specialists, entrepreneurs, consultants.

No prior knowledge of restorative practices is necessary to participate. If you have taken other introductory events, such as Restorative Practices for Educators or Restorative Justice Conferencing, please note that there will be overlapping information on those foundational topics through a lens of workplace culture. 

Learning Format Options:

• Online: Two consecutive 3.5-hour days of live instruction via Zoom (breaks included).

Price through August 31, 2026: $375
