The 2019 UC Berkeley Healthy Work Environments Summit laid the groundwork for a shared understanding of how communities can redesign work environments to foster greater health and wellbeing. The 2021 webinar series will provide a practical follow-up to that event with an emphasis on the practices, policies, norms, and culture we want to build in our campus work environments.
Healthy Workplaces by Design
- Watch the recorded webinar and view slides from Caitlin Price DeClercq and Cristina Banks.
- Centering on the Healthy Workplace Model as a framework of need satisfaction at work, this presentation will explore what has been learned so far about aspects of workplaces that promote workers’ need satisfaction increasing their health, well-being, and productivity, and how current contexts of hybrid work may or may not contribute to workers' need satisfaction. To assist managers and supervisors during these challenging times and work contexts, recommendations leveraging drivers of need satisfaction to support worker health and wellbeing will be offered. Cristina Banks from UCB's own Interdisciplinary Center for Healthy Workplaces and Caitlin Price DeClercq from Columbia's Center for Teaching and Learning will lead this joint presentation.
