Registration is now open for Madison County Public Health’s Second Annual Healthy Workforce Business Conference on Oct. 4 at the White Eagle Conference Center in Hamilton.

In 2019, Madison County Public Health became an official affiliate of the Total Worker Health program and held its first Healthy Workforce Conference. The Total Worker Health program, developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, aims to promote the safety and health of workers. The first conference brought attendees from over 28 organizations and businesses together to share ideas and techniques to advance worker health.

“Employers today are facing more challenges than ever to maintain a high performing, healthy workforce” said Madison County Public Health Director Eric Faisst. “We are excited to bring the conference back this year to address topics impacting leadership, wellness, and safety of our modern, post-pandemic workforce. This is a valuable opportunity for workforce leaders to gain knowledge and tangible techniques that advance overall worker health.”

Madison County Public Health brought together an Advisory Committee with representatives from NIOSH, Madison County Rural Health Council, BRiDGES, Working Solutions, Iroquois Healthcare Association, and the Partnership for Community Development to guide this year’s conference tracks and session topic areas.

Conference attendees will hear from local and national experts and industry leaders to help support your greatest business investment, your workforce. Speakers will address artificial intelligence and its impact on health, workplace violence prevention, how to create a recovery friendly workplace, and more. Conference seating is limited.
