Trauma-Informed Workplaces: Practice Applications in Equity, Empathy, and Employee Development
Presented by: Delena Meyer and Toby Lucich
Building a more compassionate workplace can feel overwhelming. After researching best practices and employee experiences for the last five years, Toby and Delena have found some emerging practices that can change the way people show up at work. We call it “Human at Work”.
This webinar will help participants understand what trauma-informed approaches might begin to look like when applied to workplace policy, management, and employee experience.
Time and Date: March 10, 2020; 12:00 – 1:00pm
Prior to the webinar, participants are invited to take the no-cost Human at Work Snapshot Survey and discover how their results compare to other employers across the six core domains.

Biography: Toby Lucich, Managing Partner and Founder, Kinetic Health
One of Toby's many talents is finding patterns where others don't see them. Recombining data and expert insights to improved patient (or employee, or stakeholder) experiences has long been a part of Toby's work in organizations. Early work at Southwest Washington Medical Center focused on understanding the value of improved patient experiences, from process change initiatives, to scheduling design reviews, to technology-enabled patient and provider experiences. These early experiences sparked a passion for data-driven investments, as well as a deep appreciation for intentional communications and education as part of lasting change efforts. By founding Kinetic Health, Toby delivers measurable results to clients. Sure, he's good with words, but he's still a numbers guy at heart, and he studies his clients' numbers until patterns emerge that inform strategy and solutions. He's not happy until there's a meaningful, measurable change in the metrics that matter.

The Science of Hope: Hope Predicts Adaptive Outcomes, Hope Buffers the Effects of Adversity, and Hope Can Be Influenced and Sustained
Presented by: Kody Russell
This presentation will introduce the science of hope and its ability to 1: buffer adversity and stress, 2: lead to positive outcomes, and 3: is a strength that can be nurtured with targeted intervention. Hope is an important protective factor that enables individuals and families to thrive. Hope is also an important coping resource to vicarious trauma and burnout among service providers. This workshop will present the science of Hope as a psychological strength in our ability to cope with traumatic experiences and flourish toward future goals. This presentation will show how (1) hope predicts adaptive outcomes, (2) hope buffers the effects of adversity, and (3) hope can be influenced and sustained. This workshop will also present “hands-on” tools to assess and nurture hope across the lifespan. Attendees will be invited to participate in small group discussions looking at their work from a hope centered approach. Attendees will also be asked to examine how they are a pathway for clients to achieve goals and how they can help clients see them as pathways and not barriers.
Time and Date: March 24, 2020; 12:00 – 12:00pm
