Learn how to integrate wellness and occupational health and safety (OHS) , understand the list of areas to merge, where to start, what qualifications work, who to benchmark.
In this entertaining and participative session we will look at areas where this makes perfect sense, some of the evidence including research papers, articles, and texts, NIOSH’s research and their two symposia on it, and many organizations that have merged the two with reported benefits.
Participants will come away with a self-generated list of areas to merge, where to start, what qualifications work for their HSW department, and plenty of opportunities to benchmark their companies. There will be plenty of opportunity to have their questions answered.
