Business Partner Roundtables: Global Health
2023
The USCIB Foundation developed the Business Partner Roundtables (BPRs) to focus on critical global topics to support multisector engagement. These invitation-only virtual discussions encourage business, public and academic leaders to consider approaches to multisector engagement on key global issues. Three roundtables were held on Global Health Crises with representatives from World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC, Business at OECD (BIAC), International Organisation of Employers (IOE), health organizations, academia, and the private sector, to share ideas to increase multisectoral collaboration for better response to health crises in the post-COVID19 era.
Business Partners to CONVINCE
Launched 2020
Business Partners to CONVINCE (BP2C) is a global movement of employers of all sizes that seeks to build confidence among its workforce that vaccines work and are safe by educating on the facts and developing workplace policies to increase vaccine uptake. BP2C is the private sector arm of the global, multi-sector CONVINCE (COalition for New Vaccine INformation, Communication, and Engagement). The private sector can play a pivotal role in addressing vaccine hesitancy with its extensive reach and high level of trust imbued in employers by employees. BP2C includes a series of Learning Modules to develop skills to support employee vaccination efforts, and the There’s More to Be Done creative campaign.
