SEEDS' - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso SEEDS Community Resolution Center

As an employee of a conflict transformation organization I have pretty high expectations of how my place of employment engages conflict and disagreement. This is one of the only places that I have ever worked where what the organization says it's about is what it's actually about in the lived experience of its employees. We disagree, we make blunders, we hurt feelings and cause offense, and we work through it, we have difficult, intentional, caring conversations and we learn together to build understanding through dialogue. Sometimes it's really hard, but I have always felt held and supported. I have also really appreciated the ability the organization has demonstrated to grow and develop into a better employer and take the learnings of past mis-steps and leverage them into better employment practices - specifically around issues of equity. I am deeply encouraged that organizations like this exist - it owns its imperfections and strives incredibly hard to improve. Additionally - on a very basic level SEEDS is a supportive employer, extending great care and concern for the well-being of its employees, who, from my experience are encouraged to show up as their full and real selves.
