 Healthy Work Environment: Improving the Quality of Work-life
Today, more than ever before, healthcare organizations are recognizing the need to continually focus on improving the health of the workplace environment and culture as well as support the individual well-being of employees. Healthcare organizations understand that their core business, delivering quality patient care, is, to a large degree, dependant on creating a healthy and safe work environment.

Increased job satisfaction, enhanced morale, and reduced absenteeism are some of the additional benefits of having a healthy work environment.

At this conference you will:
• Learn tools and resources to help create a safer and healthier work environment for workers and employers
• Learn strategies to help manage role overload
• Gain knowledge of methods to increase retention and recruitment rates while lowering costs related to 
  presenteeism, absenteeism and turnover
• Gain knowledge of tools to create and sustain a positive and productive workplace
