Social safety, and organisational culture advisory

Integrated inclusion trust and safety advisor

In a rapidly changing society, we encounter complex situations to navigate social cohesion. In the workplace we encounter forms of harm, bullying, exclusion, discrimination, lack of social safety and challenges in intercultural relations and accountability mechanisms. I co design new training,solutions and systems to address these issues so that we all feel safe in workspaces and have equal access to opportunities and growth whereby innovation, TRUST productivity and harmony is increased. However the leader is the key lynchpin. This is grounded in skills to foster dialogue and harness collective intelligence. Efforts on this front are ongoing in most organizations, albeit in small parts but often in a burdened

HR is a stakeholder that can learn from changes in policy and processes that can alleviate the burden of complaints and conflict. An additional work dimension is sometimes difficult to kick start but easy to maintain when integrated. Team culture and safety efforts need holistic thought and planning otherwise risks surface treatment, tick-boxing or isolation. Dialogue, training, analysis & advisory ensures interactive engagement and ownership of the process. A cohesive, joint team and organizational approach are essential. In order for credible, efficient implementation, the arc that covers other business operations; leadership/management, policies and processes should ideally be reviewed in context.

Lastly I work as a trauma informed facilitator and data driven in efforts for change as well as systems analysis.

Negotiation, Crisis intervention, Restorative Practices and Recovery from Harm

Where there are different forms of conflict we need different approaches to resolve, restore trust and create value. Harm and conflict can be addressed through new restorative practices often not included in organisations approach to complaints, mediation of issues or internal decision making processes. When different forms of harm occur it often disappears into a legal realm - which is not needed in certain instances though always at the start or end of any disagreement or conflict we need restoration and repair. We need these skills and I teach as well as intervene. I use knowledge in addition as negotiator, facilitator and lawyer but also as trauma informed practitioner, systems changer and advocate for restorative practices to repair all forms of harm. I do this in all contexts from organisations to institutions.
