Translation of Workplace Interventions: Dissemination and Implementation

How can researchers best share their evidence-based tools with the community? How can practitioners effectively implement these tools within their organization? What are some strategies to making a successful business case for best practices with organizational leaders? Our Summer Institute this year featured experts in academia and industry who helped answer some of these questions. Scroll for links to individual presentations and talk slides.
