Course:
HR as Policy Violence (Round 2)
BI-WEEKLY May 2 - Dec 19, 2024 with NO CLASSES in JULY
Thursday evenings 4-6pm PT | 5 - 7pm MT | 6 - 8pm CT | 7-9pm ET
Shoreline Consulting is pleased to announce that we will be offering another round of: HR as Policy Violence! The first course is actively started and we received lots of interest in this class with a request that we offer it again over a more spacious schedule.
Explore the impact of 'policy violence' in workplaces and learn to uphold humanity and core values in HR practices, even when options seem limited
The term "policy violence" is not a widely recognized or standard term in the field of human resources or related disciplines. Certain policies or practices within organizations, agencies, workplaces and more can have negative effects on humanity, leading to harm or injustice. This course will discuss how to both recognize the constraints within the Human Resources sector and discuss ways to remain intact and center humanity and apply core values when it feels like there are no other options.
This course is open anyone willing to:
To make new and/or deeper connections with other participants
To step into unfamiliar growth spaces
To practice new ways of being that interrupts the multiple -isms that are present in workspaces
If you have been working as a change agent in your environment and are in need of an experience that dives deeper into the accumulated wisdom of your journey towards an emerging future, this class is for you. If you are an HR professional and you see or are open to seeing the limitations of typical practices, this class is also for you. The course consists of readings, reflective assignments, paired conversations with fellow classmates, guest presentations, one on one coaching sessions with course facilitators and twelve 2 hour virtual sessions over a sixteen week period. This course will likely offer a deeper dive than participants may have experienced in any past courses because it invites analytical practices and personal awareness and reflection on all the content.
