IPPS Quarterly Submission

Marielle

Quarterly Newsletter – EDI Submission

The Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (EDI) Committee wants to highlight the Tritons Flourish group and some of the recommendations that they provided on how to flourish in both your personal and professional lives. They hold a virtual meeting that occurs the third Friday of the month. Each meeting discusses skills & strategies to maintain resilience while managing the many stressors we face.

To align with our EDI objectives, Integrated Procure-to-Pay Solutions (IPPS) committed to making the Implicit Bias Series a required training for all the organization’s employees as one of our annual Performance Appraisal (PA) goals. We encourage the rest of campus to adopt similar requirements within their own departments to uphold EDI initiatives.

 Another great resource to start with is the Outsmarting Implicit Bias podcast. The podcast deals with exploring the mind’s blind spots when encountering implicit biases and how to actively fight against them. This series was founded by Harvard psychologist, Mahzarin Banaji.

We also encourage everyone to subscribe to the “5 Ally Actions” Weekly Newsletter which provides 5 simple actions to create a more inclusive workplace.

Please contact ipps-edi@ucsd.edu with any questions or comments.

• (MARY) Move paragraph on Implicit Bias training to the beginning

• (KACY) Making the texts more bullet points - Kacy will do this when reviewing with Leah

• Kacy will send the submission back to the group so that we can see it before it gets published
