Description: For supervisors, using trauma-informed principles provides a helpful framework to guide your behavior, your feedback, and the way you support co-workers whose lived experiences and/or personal identities are different from yours. These principles promote emotional safety and trust building, which increases collaboration in our teams. However, using these principles doesn’t mean you rely on “being nice” or avoid holding someone accountable if things aren’t going well. Instead, it means you approach these situations with empathy and clarity.
The reality is, supervisors should be building trust before addressing accountability is necessary. This makes these conversations go better and will hopefully encourage partnership to improve what’s needed. Stating expectations clearly, providing follow-through, and using active listening, combined with your direct, developmental feedback supports the accountability you're requesting.
In this workshop, we’ll explore how to use trauma-informed principles when addressing work performance issues and holding someone accountable. Together, we’ll discuss real scenarios and practice how to have these conversations effectively and with care.
