Working More Radically Within Your Organisation: Introduction to Radical HR

Three workshops from RadHR looking at how progressive organisations can make their internal ways of working more deeply reflect their values.

1. Doing DEI (Mon 30 Sep 18:00)
2. Being Class-Conscious (Mon 21 Oct 18:00)
3. Introduction to Radical HR (Mon 18 Nov 18:00)

• People who want to start analysing or changing their organisation’s mix of people, dynamics and priorities
• Organisations who struggle to reach and involve people from outside their middle-class ‘comfort zone’ & are looking for practical tools.
• Any progressive or ‘radical’ organisations wanting to think more about how they can enact their values through their internal policies and processes.

• The masterclasses will share insights from not just the facilitators, but the large range of organisations they’ve worked with to try and create more values-led internal cultures
• The masterclasses will offer practical examples of e.g. ‘radical’ pay policies to look at as well as allow for reflection and discussion as to how these might (or might not) work for you organisation

This workshop will provide an introduction to some of the issues with standard HR policies for progressive and radical organisations and suggest some frameworks for thinking about HR differently. We’ll then look at examples of some more values-led policies from the RadHR website and discuss whether these could be adapted for the organisations in the room. We’ll also do a quick tour of the RadHR website so that participants can become familiar with how to use it to find values-led policies to learn from and share their own.

These workshops will be facilitated by members of the RadHR team. RadHR is about practically applying anti-oppressive ideas to how social change organisations and workplaces organise internally. It offers alternatives to off-the-shelf HR policies and processes, which tend to replicate the very oppressions that our organisations strive to challenge.

This session will be led by Kiran Nihalani, co-founder of RadHR, which supports activist groups, coops, community organisations and voluntary sector groups to share and learn from each others’ values-led policies and processes. Previously, Kiran worked in a range of frontline roles in the voluntary sector and spent many years trying to shift the internal cultures of the organisations she was part of to be more reflective of their external values.
