“We live in a world of extraordinary pain and suffering. While conditions today are less vicious and brutal than they have been for much of human history, the reality remains that billions of people face daily struggles for survival and dignity. In such a world, it is imperative that, individually as well as through our organizations we work toward alleviating the suffering” (Sisodia, 2017). How can individuals and organizations work towards alleviating suffering? How can we build organizations that advance the welfare of people embedded in them? This workshop draws from over 15 years of research on compassion in organizations to offer an accessible and practically useful toolkit of strategies for awakening compassion as a vehicle for individual and organizational resilience. This workshop is designed to seed and propagate dialogue, research initiatives, and practices linked to eliciting, leveraging, and amplifying compassion as one of the humanistic practices in organizing (Pirson & Dierksmeier, 2014). Building on compassion science we seek to introduce an empirical definition of compassion as a social process. This view helps us shift our attention toward the relational practice of compassion (Livne- Tarandach, 2016). At a system level, we introduce a framework of the social architecture of compassion that will help leaders and practitioners re-design aspects of any community to cultivate greater compassion (Worline & Dutton, 2017) while promoting resilience, protecting dignity, and enhancing well-being (Pirson & Dierksmeier, 2014; Pirson, 2016). This interactive experience will invite participants to play with these design principles at both individual and organizational levels.
