Summit Session
OK, so we're diverse. Now what?
Many organizations have the external appearance of being diverse, yet are they taking full advantage of that diversity? Is diversity helping or hurting the bottom line? What conversations are necessary in order to successfully create a shared future with a multicultural workforce? What are the specific challenges in the HealthCare Industry regarding diversity and inclusion?

How the American Cancer Society Resources Can Help Create a Healthy Work Environment
Cancer is the leading cause of death among working age adults. Certain race/ethnic group are at even greater risk of dying from the disease. With the help of the American Cancer Society, employers can implement policies and programs to engage employees in living a healthy lifestyle, thereby reducing the risk of long-term illness and costly insurance claims.

The American Cancer Society is committed to understanding worksite business needs and offering solutions that reduce the financial and human burden of cancer. Together with your employees, you can build a healthy business.


By the end of this session participants will:
-Understand how the health and fitness of employees can have a major impact on an organization's productivity and bottom line costs.
-Be aware of American Cancer Society's resources that can positively influence employee health, productivity, and medical costs; improve employee affinity and morale, and provide access to local support and services
