International Employee Benefits Association ”“The conference is great value for what’s on offer. It’s a good

opportunity to network with otherOH professionals and learn aboutadvancements in the industry.There’s always a packed programmeof lectures, workshops and casestudies, with best practice and thelatest developments.” John Lewis Partnership

”“People attending this conference come from organisations that seek to be exemplary in the ways they support their staff, looking always to enhance their achievement and reputation. The issues to be explored are high on the agendas of managers and leaders at every level.Whether from the public, private or third sectors, they share common concerns about the performance of their organisation.

Are there any organisations in which the health and wellbeing of the workforce and productivityand service quality are not inextricably linked? That workplace environments and managementculture have a major impact on employees’ health and well-being is not in dispute. Wherever weare held to account, a core responsibility should be to safeguard the health and wellbeing of staff,for their benefit and for the benefit of the organisation employing them. Drawing on the evidencenow available and the examples of accepted good practice, contributors to this conference willshare their expertise to show how these aims might be realised.”
