Health Work & Wellness™ Conference 2008
Moving Forward... Giving Back

What does it take to be a truly sustainable organization? What role does a company's interaction with the community and the environment play? The theme of Conference 2008 is "Moving Forward... Giving Back" and will focus on organizational endurance.

Successful organizations that last have a few things in common. They have healthy workplace cultures, meaning there are flexible work practices and healthy leadership. There is a buzz, and energy and a real sense that "this is an extraordinary place to work."

They also have healthy communication, healthy people strategies, and because of that they have healthy people. And they leave a healthy organizational footprint - from the design of their offices, to developing green spaces, addressing transportation issues and maintaining progressive people strategies. 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.
