I speak with Denean Pillar-Jackson, Executive Director of the Chicago Resiliency Network, an initiative of the Corporate Coalition of Chicago, to discuss their ground-breaking trauma-informed culture work with employers like AT&T, JP Morgan Chase & many other businesses across Chicagoland.
The Chicago Resiliency Network is working with employers across Chicagoland to create workplaces that are better for employees and better for business. Through their cohort-based program, employers are creating trauma-informed cultures that promote resilience and sustain high performance. Together, cohort members explore the root causes of trauma and toxic stress and learn the fundamentals of resiliency. Armed with new knowledge and skills, member firms implement training and resiliency practices in ways that suit their businesses. After testing solutions and reflecting on what they've learned, cohort members share insights with one another. Participants engage in a virtuous cycle of learning, doing, and sharing, with the goal of continuing individual and organizational growth beyond the formal program.
