The Future of Work: Envisioning a Healing-Centered Workplace June 13-15
THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT
$150 per day, $399 for the entire conference
Could a workplace actually help prevent trauma and help people heal?
If you are burned out, tired of a toxic workplace, looking to join the Great Resignation, or, if you’re an employer, if looking for ways to prevent a mass exodus and retain valued employees, you are not alone.
The last three years have seen the pandemic, racial unrest,  environmental traumas, increases in poverty, major policy and political shifts, and the effect these existential threats have on our stress levels. These collective traumas have inevitably affected our tolerance for challenges to our lives, livelihoods, and wellbeing.
To explore the future of work; ways work both contributes to our stress and could in fact be a means of promoting wellbeing, PACEs Connection called on experts from the fields of PACEs science, human resources, public policy, infant and child development, trauma-informed leadership and more for a deep look into the workplace and we were met with these topics to consider:

  • A History of Work – Paid and Unpaid Labor in America

  • Nurturance: The Fundamental Condition Every Human Needs to Thrive

  • Do Policies Create Poverty, Child Abuse, and Neglect ?

  • What If Babies Ran the Workplace?

  • Compassion Fatigue

  • Toxic Workplaces

  • Trauma Informed - Being Embraced by Every Professional Sector

  • Partnering across Georgia to Create Trauma Informed, Inclusive Workplaces

  • The American Laborer

  • Empathetic Leadership: Toward a Workplace that is Human-Centered and Trauma-Informed.

  • Reimagining Workplaces, the Role of Wellness

  • How One Organization is Tracking and Recognizing Organizations that are Becoming More Trauma Informed.
PACEs Connection will explore these topics and more for three afternoons next week, and invites you to register here now for the conference, taking place from noon - 5:00 p.m. ET, June 13 - 15. Tickets range from $150 for a single day to $399 for the full conference.

Join PACEs Connection CEO Ingrid Cockhren and authors and leaders from the field of PACEs science, human resources and trauma-informed leadership as they share historical and late-breaking perspectives on work and trauma, our economy, the dignity of work, lived experiences, the impact of policy, who’s looking to create “trauma-informed workplaces”, and the future of work.

How would we work in a “Just Society”, where all are valued equally? The healing-centered workplace – and the disruptions it will take to create it  – will happen through community.
Day 1
The Great Resignation: How did we get here?
How is it that we created and now perpetuate a system that values the work of some and denigrates the work of others? How did we get to the point of The Great Resignation? When and how will it stop? How does historical trauma in America affect the way we work– and overwork – ourselves and each other?
What about economics, racism, and poverty and their impact on how we work?
How do current policies and practices encourage child abuse and neglect?
What if BABIES ran the workplace?
 
Speakers: Ingrid Cockhren, Tony Biglan, Clare Anderson, and Deborah McNelis

*At the end of each day's presentations, a panel discussion with the speakers will give speakers and attendees alike the opportunity to make comments and ask questions.
Day 2
Change starts here: Toxic stress, burnout, and work life balance
We have to look at where we are  – as individuals – with toxic stress, burnout, and work life balance.  What are the lived experiences of people who’ve survived toxic workplaces? Racism on the job? Microaggressions for being LGBTQI? Loss of employment or income due to lack of quality affordable childcare? What are the lived experiences of people in places where new parents are given time off, and high quality childcare is state-sponsored, as is healthcare? How are states handling the mental health crisis and creating trauma-informed, inclusive workplaces? Is diversity, equity, inclusivity, and belonging work the solution?
Speakers: Porter Jennings-McGarity, Alison Cebulla, Becky Haas, Emily Anne Vall and Jenn Graham

*At the end of each day's presentations, a panel discussion with the speakers will give speakers and attendees alike the opportunity to make comments and ask questions.
Day 3
The Future of Work - Envisioning a healing-centered workplace and just society
Diversity, equity and inclusion, and health and wellness. What does work look like in a “Just Society”?  Do we value – or not value – the sacredness of work? How do we pay people what they're worth? How do we ensure that people are able to do work they love? How will it be when all work is honored and valued, when all are assured an income that makes truly living – being able to afford the basics of housing, food, clothing, transportation, education, and healthcare as a given, but also earning enough to enjoy life’s pleasures of vacations, entertainment, free time? Will we actually be more productive? Can we create enough trust in the workplace to ask for empathy? Who is monitoring what organizations become trauma-informed, what does that mean, and how do we find out which workplaces are “Family Forward”?
Speakers: Ingrid Cockhren, Katharine Manning, Vernisha Crawford, and Lisa Finaldi

*At the end of each day's presentations, a panel discussion with the speakers will give speakers and attendees alike the opportunity to make comments and ask questions.
