Learning Circles: Indigenous Approaches to Feedback in the Workplace

Young Indigenous trainee barista gets tips from his boss.

Learning Circles: Culturally Safer Terminology is part of a video series exploring Indigenous perspectives on psychological health and safety in the workplace.

Created to support employers and workers across BC’s tourism and hospitality industry, this series is a partnership between Len Pierre Consulting, go2HR, and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).

In this session, we explore Indigenous and trauma informed approaches to feedback, including three practical principles:

  • Staying calm and grounded
  • Assuming good intent
  • Creating space for dialogue and shared decision making

These approaches support healthier communication, stronger relationships, and psychologically safer workplaces.

This video is part of the Learning Circles series. We encourage you to watch the other sessions, each offering practical tools to help build culturally safe and psychologically healthy workplaces.
