Tuesday, June 8, 2004
Location: Fort Garry Hotel, 222 Broadway, Winnipeg

Employee Well-Being - Why Should the Company Care?
Lunch - 12:00 Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Employee absenteeism is the norm.  Job satisfaction is down and turnover is up.   What's employee well-being got to do with it?  How did we get here and where do we go?  The workplace wellness code of practice says: a reasonable workload; voluntary overtime; the opportunity to decline work.  Wishful thinking?  You'll want to bring your boss to this session!

Creating a Healthy Workplace
Workshop - 1:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.
It's not about installing a gym, a great benefits package or even workload.   It's about changing how we work, how we interact, how we manage people.  Dr. Duxbury will review why we (workplaces) have to change and what we have to change, and focus on Are You Ready for change and How to move forward.

Note: These sessions are part of the People, Skills, Performance - Workplace Trainers Conference taking place on Tuesday, June 8, 2004 - 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.   Click here for full conference information.
