Restorative practice is an emerging social science that studies strengthening relationships between individuals in a compassionate, relationship-centered approach to work culture. Its focus is on building positive relationships and providing opportunities for individuals to take responsibility for their behavior while remaining connected in the community.
In this course designed for executives, managers, HR professionals, and educators, instructor Yvette Durazo will teach you the strategies and skills needed to implement this practice in your workplace. Through lecture, reflection exercises and group discussion you will examine restorative justice principles and practices that can be used as a process to shape a more inclusive workplace.
