Abstract

In the world of work, accountability can often translate into punishment. This book explores trust, learning, and accountability in the aftermath of incidents. Fully updated, the fourth edition of Restorative Just Culture covers restorative justice, challenging conventional notions of blame and retribution to create a “just culture” in the workplace. Whether you’re grappling with the fallout of an incident or seeking to foster a culture of trust and compassion, this book offers invaluable insights and practical guidance. This fascinating title challenges the traditional concept of accountability and urges the reader to consider not just who broke the rules, but who was harmed and what their needs are. Written by a pioneer in the field, this book draws from extensive case studies and fresh insights. Through narratives and thought-provoking analysis, the author explores the transformative power of restorative justice and the complexities of human error in organizational settings. New to this edition are new chapters, updates to criminalizing human error, a section on forgiveness, coverage of implementing restorative justice in an organization and much more. The reader of this book can re-evaluate how they see their workplace culture and how it can be made safer and fairer. Restorative Just Culture: From Disciplinary Action to Meaningful Accountability, Fourth Edition is a must-read for professionals in health and safety, business and management, and others with accountability in professional environments.
