Labor-saving technologies (the computer), sedentary lifestyles (the remote), and a "convenience food" culture are increasing work risks by decreasing the health and vitality of our workforce. Our workers are aging as well as working with injury, disease, and disabilities. Proactive organizations understand the value of workforce wellness and its effect on reducing occupational illness and injury. Fit employees are more alert, more engaged, less likely to become injured and, equally important, present at work (presenteism).
Establishing work related wellness programs is a cost-effective risk management initiative. The return on investment is in reducing costs related to injuries, absenteeism, and workers' compensation. The added bonus is the integration of productivity, safety, and quality - a risk managers dream come true. And as we know reducing waste builds profits.
Minimizing risk by implementing a workplace wellness program is neither complicated nor expensive. In this full day day professional development conference our experts will share their real world industry case studies with you. We guarantee you and your employees will soon be on the path to workplace wellness.
