Wellness Workdays has made headlines again as its CEO and Founder, Debra Wein, is slated to speak at the prestigious Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Construction Safety and Health Conference on January 22. This major event is recognized across the construction industry, providing a vital platform where safety, health, and HR professionals can exchange forward-thinking insights and practices.
Joining Debra Wein at the conference will be industry veterans Jamie Evans, Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety at Turner Construction, and Stewart Levy, Vice President of Population Health and Occupational Health at Wellworks for You. Together, they will tackle the pressing issue of maintaining musculoskeletal health in the demanding construction environment, through their featured session titled "Innovative Workplace Strategies for Implementing Musculoskeletal Health and Well-Being Solutions Using the Total Worker Health® Approach."
The session aims to unfold practical and evidence-driven strategies for preventing musculoskeletal injuries and enhancing the mental health of workers. It underscores the importance of a holistic integration of safety protocols, health promotion initiatives, and supportive organizational policies. As highlighted by Debra Wein, addressing mental health, musculoskeletal health, and overall worker well-being is critical, especially as construction workers face mounting physical demands and workforce challenges. The proactive integration of education, prevention, and organizational support is essential to protect employees while also boosting productivity and long-term health outcomes.
The perspective that Jamie Evans brings will be invaluable during the discussion. With his extensive experience on large job sites, he will elucidate how prioritizing worker well-being alongside safety measures enhances performance, mitigates risk, and promotes a more effective workforce.
