ABOUT US

Pollack Peacebuilding Systems (PPS) was founded in 2016 by a diverse group of workplace peacebuilders and organizational consultants, led by social psychologist Dr. Jeremy Pollack. Prior to founding PPS, Dr. Pollack built his career as a personal development and executive coach, focusing on topics such as mindfulness, work-life balance, career development, and maintaining healthy relationships. During that period, Dr. Pollack was part of a research team in an evolutionary psychology lab at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and became increasingly interested in the study of group conflict and cooperation. This led to his further research in both the theoretical study and practical applications of peacebuilding and conflict psychology in human systems. Combining his growing interests in peace psychology with his expertise in executive coaching, in 2016 Dr. Pollack brought together a group of expert mediators and workplace consultants to found Public Peacebuilding Systems.

Since then, PPS has grown to become the largest workplace conflict management firm in North America and has expanded their services into the U.K. and Australia. Through our theory of change, we believe that helping individuals learn to create peaceful, purpose-driven workplace cultures and healthy interpersonal relationships at work, will influence their abilities to do the same in their families and communities. So far, we have witnessed this to be the case. We have now been privileged to assist teams and work communities of all sizes and types and from more than 80 industries in building more peaceful, productive cultures.
