Wellness at Work: Creating a Healthy Workplace for Employee Fulfillment and Productivity

This event is an initiative of the FACC Women In Business Committee .

On the eve of International Women's day, we invite you to join the FACC Women in Business Commitee for a panel discussion of the latest trends and successes in creating greater well-being in the workplace that are enhancing individual and organizational performance.

• How are companies using a healthy workplace to attract and retain employees in today’s competitive workforce?
• What are the key factors impacting workplace satisfaction?
• What initiatives are today’s top companies employing?
• How do companies approach these issues to identify key areas of improvement for their business and implement them effectively?
• How can I be well at work if my Company is not able or ready to invest in its wellness?
• What is the role of spirituality in the workplace, and does it enhance employee wellness?
• How do I feel more connected to my colleagues at work?
• There are times when one cannot escape the long and stressful hours at work, how to mitigate the adverse effects on our health?

The Women in Business Committee was created 10 years ago to create high level networking and professional development opportunities for women in business, especially within the French-American business community. As part of this initiative, the Committee regularly hosts events to provide a platform for the advancement and promotion of women at various stages of their careers, as well as forums around general business topics.
