• We are all researchers and professionals who volunteer to work with this Council outside of our full-time roles because we care about worker health, safety, and well-being.
  • We work together to advance research, policy, and practice in current topics important to healthy design of work and worker well-being.
  • Examples of products we have produced or plan to produce include blog posts, webinars, employer and industry handbooks and guides, journal articles, conference presentations, and special issues of journals.
  • We are organized in sub-groups that are topic- focused; members are listed below each topic area.
  • We welcome new members! If you are interested in joining, please email Anjali Rameshbabu (rameshba@ohsu.edu) and state which topic you would like to join.
