Navigating Conflict: Restorative Practices in the Workplace - Elk Grove Village, IL

The International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP) presents 'Navigating Conflict: Restorative Practices in the Workplace,' a two-day professional development event held in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. This workshop equips participants with the skills to welcome and address conflict at intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organisational levels, guided by the principles of restorative practices that the IIRP has pioneered over decades of research and practice. Rather than avoiding or suppressing conflict, participants learn to view it as an opportunity to strengthen relational dynamics and build a culture of shared accountability. Through examination of real-world scenarios, inclusive decision-making models, and collaborative problem-solving exercises, attendees develop actionable strategies for resolving workplace tensions while preserving and enhancing professional relationships. By the end of the workshop, participants will have crafted a personalised plan to navigate and address conflict in their own workplace. The IIRP is the world's first graduate school dedicated entirely to restorative practices, and this workshop extends their well-established educational frameworks into professional and organisational settings where healthy conflict resolution is essential for productivity and wellbeing.
