Designing for Safety: How to Build Workplaces that Support Survivors
How do we design workplaces that support survivors, rather than overlook them?
In this 1-hour webinar, hosted by Chayn and featuring FreeFrom, we’ll explore how trauma-informed approaches can strengthen workplace culture, user safety, and team wellbeing.
Hye Sun Kim, Private Sector Program Manager at FreeFrom, will share key insights from their Survivors at Work research, highlighting how gender-based violence impacts survivors’ financial stability and employment, and why workplaces play a critical role in supporting long-term safety and recovery.
Our trauma-informed practitioners from Chayn will share real-world examples of how organisations can integrate trauma-informed policies, practices, training, and design approaches across teams, platforms, and internal systems to support survivors, and help them thrive at work.
You’ll leave with practical ideas you can apply right away, from shaping workplace policies and benefits to embedding trauma-informed thinking into how your organisation supports both employees and users. Whether you’re building teams, designing systems, or supporting communities, this session offers a clear, actionable lens on how to create spaces of healing rather than harm for survivors and vulnerable populations.
