Black Women are Present in the Workforce, Not Included
Original Program Date :
This is a case study presentation where the objective was to help workplaces move from Black women being present in the workplace to Black women being included in the workplace. Specifically, the research sought to (1) explore the ways in which Black women practice wellness in their lives, (2) understand how their wellness is impacted—positively and negatively-- in the workplace, and (3) uncover what companies can do to promote wellness for Black women in the workplace.
