2011 Best Practices Conference
Profitability alone was never enough; any business beholden to
the Service Profit chain learned long ago to balance people and
profits. Today, leading companies focus the future on the next big
hurdle - measuring and achieving the Triple Bottom Line of people,
profits and a sustainable future for our planet.
|
Join us in Dallas, TX on November 1 - 3rd, 2011, for the 16th
annual Best Practices Conference, as we celebrate the milestones of
the People Report Consortium, and bring together the executive
members of People Report and Black Box Intelligence. Count on being
informed, inspired, and renewed as we tackle the triple challenges
and opportunities of People, Profits, and the Planet.

best collections of speakers, events, breakouts
anywhere."

Get up early, grab some coffee, your 2011 Cintas tee shirt,
reconnect with your friends, meet some new ones, and above all make
a difference. This economy continues to hurt those least able to

statistic.

Juggling the Yin
& Yang of Healthcare and Wellness
We all know one thing about healthcare costs- they are going to
increase. We also know that healthy employees are more productive,
spend less time at the doctor's office, and ultimately can have a
positive impact on the bottom line. Effective wellness initiatives
balance creative benefit offerings and real concern for the
employee with an eye on the bottom line. Learn from two top experts
in the nascent field of "workplace wellness" how you can make a
difference in your company.
