Health Work & Wellness™ Conference 2010

Thinking Organizations...SUCCEED!

Think, think, think,... our brains are always doing it and our organizations are always counting on it. When change and transformation are happening so rapidly in business and in the world around us, we need to be more fluid in our thinking on one hand, while being better critical thinkers on the other. We need to tap into our right brain more often for that intuition and emotional awareness that is there, yet not lose sight of the left brain logical, objective thinking.

For 2010, Health Work & Wellness™, Canada's leading forum on organizational health will focus on helping you to build a "thinking organization". This requires engaged, empowered leadership. It requires us to narrow the "knowing-doing gap". It means integrating organizational health with business objectives. And it may require a big culture shift.

As we emerge from economic recession, the success of organizations will be determined largely by their ability to think in a new business environment. Optimal performance at all levels will depend on optimal thinking.

Join us in Vancouver to learn from others and share your own ideas about how organizations can become smarter and how this will benefit them.

What You Will Learn

What businesses need to thrive

Part of the underlying philosophy of the Health Work & Wellness™ Conference is that creating an extraordinary workplace starts with developing a culture that promotes trust, respect, effective communication and recognition of employees' needs. A culture that positively affects physical, mental and emotional well-being drives creativity, innovation, productivity and loyalty - all of which contribute to higher performance and a better bottom line.

At Conference 2010, you will learn:

  • How to assess, interpret data, evaluate, develop useful healthy business frameworks and strategic plans and link it all to your business objectives.
  • Simple, low-cost strategies for small workplaces (and large businesses with regional offices in small communities) that tap into the community approach to workplace health.
  • What it is that people need through their "work-span" for positive physical and emotional health. Different options for every generation in today's workplace.
  • The management practices that create a culture of mental well-being, and how to assess whether or not your work culture is healthy.
