Activity:

Ask Me Anything Live Event

Detailed Description:

This ask-me-anything panel will center on the impact of the Dobbs decision on people in the workplace. It’s hosted by the Women’s Inclusion Network within SIOP and will focus on how the end of Roe will impact well-being and performance, as well as how we as I-O psychologists can help and where we should focus. All SIOP members are welcome to attend what we hope will be a productive discussion about what research suggests about this topic, as well as next steps.

Learning Objectives:

1. The impacts of the Roe v Wade decision on workplace well-being and performance
2. How can I-O psychologists support teams and professionals
3. Where would it be prudent to focus resources to support staff/teams in the aftermath of this decision
