Transformative Justice in Organizational Conflict

$0.00

When conflicts arise in workplaces or community organizations, the default response often involves confidential HR investigations, backdoor deals, or top-down decisions. Transformative Justice in Organizational Conflict introduces alternative pathways grounded in community accountability processes, healing circles, and transparent agreements. Rather than simply “managing” disputes or silencing dissent, participants will learn how to approach harm collaboratively and equitably—inviting dialogue, reparative steps, and transformative outcomes that nurture trust, belonging, and collective resilience.

Why It Matters

Workplace conflict doesn’t have to end in termination, silent grudges, or top-down punishments. Transformative justice principles treat harm as an opportunity for growth—urging us to take collective responsibility, care for those harmed, and address root causes of tension. By rooting conflict resolution in trust-building and accountability, organizations foster stronger relationships, deeper staff loyalty, and a broader culture of empathy. The result is a resilient environment where honesty, courage, and personal development become standard practice.
