Healing Justice at Work: Redesigning Work so Women can Thrive

Women across the workforce, especially those in trauma-exposed, caregiving roles, are burning out not from the work itself, but from inflexible and extractive systems. YWCA Utah's Healing Justice at Work redesigns workplace structures to center care, equity, and sustainability. Through reduced work hours without pay loss, childcare access, strategic AI implementation, and trauma-responsive leadership, this model improves retention, strengthens outcomes for survivors, and demonstrates a scalable, economically sound approach to women-centered, and all, workplaces.
