When organizations focus on supporting their employees to be healthier, the health of the business improves, too.
At Benefits Canada’s 2012 Healthy Outcomes Conference in Kelowna, B.C., 65 delegates from leading organizations dedicated to workplace wellness came together to share their challenges and successes.
One message was clear: collaboration is the way forward. Whether pushing for executive buy-in, designing a wellness program, raising awareness about mental health or executing a workplace wellness initiative, our speakers and attendees learned that working closely with both colleagues and external stakeholders is the path to success.
Read on for some of the highlights from the conference:
- Winning partnerships in wellness
- Health and personal responsibility
- The growing value of benefits
- Mental health and your business strategy
- Benefits of biologics on psoriasis
Whether the issue is tackling mental health in the workplace or launching an internal health collective, collaboration is the only way that workplace wellness initiatives will succeed.
Through partnerships and working together, plan sponsors, providers and other industry stakeholders can deliver meaningful results for the health of employees—and the organization’s bottom line.
