Bold. Inspiring. Impactful.
Join the American Heart Association and our mission to elevate U.S businesses to achieve the GOLD standard for a healthy workplace. We know that the unhealthy, unengaged workforce is draining U.S businesses $10.3 billion a year. Rising premiums, disability costs, lower productivity and absenteeism are a financial blight.
Many of us in the Human Resources and health professions are aware of the problem and know the best logical solutions. Yet, the best plans and solutions fail time and time again. Why? This year, we ask for advice from top business leaders. We want to know what is the secret to engagement? How do we “sell” well being for real health engagement?
Attendees will have the chance learn from the experts, risk-takers, innovators and change-making companies. Attendees will also enjoy breakfast, lunch and time to explore the latest workplace wellness products and solutions in the exhibitor hall. Early bird tickets are $50 and will go up to $75 February 16th.
