Higher Education CoP Feb 2021: Helping to Create a Safe Workplace Environment for BIPOC Colleagues During COVID-19

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racial injustice experienced by Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) in 2020 had impacts at multiple levels. It is important for project managers to set a positive example, seek to understand and educate themselves, and commit to helping create a safe workplace environment for BIPOC colleagues and team members during these turbulent times.

Lisa P. Davis, PhD, MSPH has extensive community based public health and research expertise in diabetes, pediatric obesity, minority health, inter-institutional partnerships, qualitative methods, and training design and facilitation. Her presentation will guide attendees through a video and explore some ways that project managers can demonstrate support to BIPOC colleagues and teammates while helping to foster a safe virtual, workplace environment.
