This paper critically examines trauma in organizational life, specifically in organizational conflict by exploring power constructs, and the roles of both social and individual identity, experience, and perception. It articulates tools and strategies to build trauma-informed organizations as well as strategies for managing conflict within them. This work also carries implications for societal change as connected to personal and organizational transformation.
