Webinar: Embodying DEI and Cultural Humility in Workplace Wellness
August 9, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am EDT
Webinar Description:
In the last three years, we’ve experienced and witnessed the need for organizations that center their employee’s well-being and how vital diversity, equity, inclusion, and cultural humility are to our wellness and work. In Fostering Wellness in the Workplace, I stated, “No matter where you work, you have a right to a physically and emotionally healthy and supportive workplace” (p. 48). During the course of this webinar, I will delve into how diversity, equity, inclusion, and cultural humility are essential to workplace wellness, along with strategies and resources. You will gain:
- An overview of cultural humility and connections to wellness.
- Critical concepts related to barriers and challenges.
- Questions to help you assess your wellness needs.
