Compassion as Ethical Practice in Organizations

 

The Tulane University School of Social Work, Clearwater Sanctuary and Advancing Compassion in Organizations Working Group invite you to "Compassion Best Practices: Compassion as Ethical Practice in Organizations" on Friday, March 28 from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Ashe Cultural Center, 1712 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard. A light breakfast will start at 8 a.m.

Overview
Imagine a culture in which organizations provided the contexts for creating a more compassionate society - a world in which people learned and expressed their humanity and compassion through their everyday experiences in schools, businesses and community organizations.

In this workshop, we will:

• learn what the new science of compassion is teaching us about why compassion matters in organizations;
• examine the most effective ways to facilitate compassion; and
• discuss how to address obstacles and challenges to compassion in our organizations.

Presentation, conversation, and group activities will draw upon 15 years of research on compassion in organizations conducted by the CompassionLab, brought to life through a variety of examples and best practices that challenge and inspire us to increase our organizations’ compassion capability.
