The annual Health Work and Wellness conference is coming up soon. It is being held October 15th to 18th, 2008 in Calgary. The theme of this year's conference is:
Successful organizations have a few things in common – healthy work cultures, healthy communication, healthy people strategies … and a healthy organizational footprint — from the design of their offices, to developing green spaces, to addressing transportation issues. They take corporate social responsibility seriously and give back in a meaningful way to their communities so that those who work for them can be proud. Success is being redefined. Employees and even shareholders are demanding it. A new breed of organization is emerging – one that understands that profitability and giving back go hand in hand. At a time when retention and recruitment are paramount to global competitiveness, building a sustainable workplace that will leave a legacy becomes crucial.
This conference is always well worth attending. If you are working on workplace wellbeing issues, employer strategy related to health, work and wellness or areas related to shifting corporate culture this is a helpful conference to attend. Registration info can be found here.
