Nonviolent Communication and Human Resources |
How do we incorporate effective communication in human resources? The term human resources refers both to people as well as to the department in a company, institution, or organization responsible for recruiting, hiring and firing, training, motivating, compensating staff, complying with labor laws, and more. Nonviolent Communication, or NVC, is a set of mindsets, tools, and skills for creating a high
quality of connection that serves to deepen mutual understanding, prevent and resolve conflicts, create enjoyable efficiency at work, and navigate situations effectively in order to co-create mutually satisfying outcomes. This article covers the many benefits and advantages organizations gain when they incorporate NVC in their human resources workshops and trainings, including human resources wellness programs. NVC emphasizes self-connection — emotional
intelligence, understanding what is motivating you, and knowing clearly what you would like — as well as healthy, respectful, and mutually empowering connection with others. This makes NVC a robust component of any human resources wellness program. Read

Nonviolent Communication and Codependency Recovery
Codependency can be described as a compulsive or habitual style of relating with others, which is outward focused and characterized by display of learned roles (e.g., caregiver, hero, people pleaser) and lack of awareness of one’s own feelings and needs in the moment. In codependency literature, these roles developed for survival purposes in family systems that included secrets and shame. As adults, these habitual roles are often
re-enacted in the face of unpredictability, change or stress, and can be described as the inauthentic self. Codependency recovery involves reclaiming the true self; the authentic self, taking responsibility for our feelings, and learning to care for and love that self. In my personal and professional experience as a psychologist, I have found that Nonviolent Communication tools are a wonderful adjunct for the recovery process. This article
will provide a review of some codependent patterns and corresponding recovery behaviors, as identified by Codependents Anonymous, Inc. (2010). NVC principles and ways of using NVC to complement the recovery process will also be identified. An example will be provided to demonstrate how the principles can be applied in our daily affairs.
Corrected Title: South Sudan NVC Workshop 2023 report from senior trainer Gitta Zimmerman Note from PuddleDancer: In our June Newsletter we incorrectly stated the training was an IIT. It was not an IIT but was a South Sudan NVC
workshop.
I am invited by the Swiss consulate to offer a NVC workshop: first for the staff of the consulate and in the second part for different NGO´s working all over in South Sudan, like UNFPA, Red Cross, FAO, Nonviolent Peace Force, Plan International, Peace Canal, Care, Peace and development, Whitaker Initiative, Church, and more – so many organizations which include the word peace or nonviolent in their name and never heard about NVC. I
am very astonished, because for me the basis of the needs is missing. NVC was new to all of them. We started the workshop off with the 4 corners game ( a game to distinguish between needs and strategies) and participants walked around engaging in it even before they had had time to take their seats. After one minute they were laughing. Any possible tension was gone. This was expressed in one feedback as well: no line up of chairs, no screen, just an activity – light
and easy for everyone to go with... Update addition to the report: Following our time in South Sudan with the Swiss consulate in April I now got an invitation from the UN FPA for 4 more workshops and 170 participants: 70 staff and 100 participants are partners from the UN in South Sudan. Imagine the multiplier effect! I am so happy and proud - all effort was worth it. Any feedback is welcome. |

"The more we use words that in any way imply criticism, the more difficult it is for people to stay connected to the beauty within themselves." Marshall Rosenberg |
"Once you have access to key people in an organization, if you go into a meeting with enemy images of those people – then you are not going to connect." Marshall Rosenberg |

We cannot defend freedom abroad while deserting it at home. —Edward R. Murrow
Interdependence vs. Dependence/Independence Interdependence, in a Nonviolent Communication process, assumes that each person is autonomous. It refers to a consciousness that values everyone’s needs equally, recognizes that all people have choices and are responsible for their actions, and focuses on abundance rather than scarcity. Autonomous people come together because they recognize that by doing so, they have more
abundance and strength. This applies to intimate relationships, businesses, church groups—any people who come together to achieve a greater goal. The dependence/independence paradigm assumes that either we have to be with someone else to be whole, or that we don’t need other people at all. This fosters the beliefs that we are dependent on others to achieve happiness, that everyone is responsible for others’ actions and feelings, and that we must focus on scarcity
rather than abundance. When we maintain an interdependent consciousness, we expand the possibilities in all our relationships. |
