Seattle City Center CEU: The Movement Toward Wellness in the Workplace
|
|
Up until today, ergonomics in the office has been somewhat reactive, focusing only on the physical science and the prevention of injury. Today, we look to expand the ergonomic lens to one that includes the impact of three different yet related sciences: physical, cognitive, and social. Learn with Julie Price of Details how the movement toward wellness in the workplace can help minimize healthcare costs, maximize employee wellness and productivity, and attract and retain employees. |
Please join us on Thursday, October 29, at BarclayDean Environments, 11100 NE 8th Street, Suite 900, Bellevue, WA. Doors will open and refreshments will be served at 5:00 p.m. The CEU will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. Refreshments will be provided by BarclayDean and Details.
