Who should attend:Plan Sponsors, Consultants, Brokers, Insurance Providers and Strategic Partners interested in Benefits that relate to Health and Wellness Strategies
Learning Objectives:
Dr. Thomas Parry will begin by providing a high level understanding of how and why organizations should develop health and wellness strategies. He will address three critical questions to employers which are: (1) what are the dimensions of health that must be included in any assessment of the impacts of workforce health improvement, (2) how do senior leaders see health and how can a business case be made to them, and (3) what are the critical data and metrics that employers need to track to understand the leading indicators of health.
Mary Ann Baynton will then help employers understand what psychological health and safety in the workplace means in practical terms and why it matters to the success of your organization. She will provide resources available in the public domain that can lead to measurable results.
The Symposium will then conclude by bringing on Janet Crowe from TELUS and Jeff Harrison from London HYDRO who represent successful organizations that have developed and implemented health and wellness strategies that have positively impacted their workplace culture.
Their discussion will include:
- Overcoming the barriers to building a successful wellness program
- Challenges they originally faced
- Strategies to engage employee involvement
- Outcomes from their initiatives
