Restorative Justice in the Workplace Course Discussion: The person most impacted by a transgression is often the person whose needs are least honored in a “justice” process. In this Ted Talk, Katy Hutchinson shares two stories where harm was done — one small and one significant. She shares the idea of taking a “time in.” Share your thoughts about what a “time in” might look like when harm is done in the workplace. How can we use the questions — What happened? Who was affected? How can it be made right? as guideposts for workplace conflict.

Societal expectations on crime and punishment have been engrained from youth. Removing the expectation that a separate group who are not stakeholders (a jury for example) are equipped to determine what is best for society along with those affected is a large shift in the paradigm. Knowing this indoctrination starts at youth, this is the perfect place to shift to a different understanding.

What Ms. Hutchinson did took moral strength and courage. We believe we have this within ourselves, but until we're put into a situation where it needs to be exhibited, we'll never know for sure.
