OHWC Partner's Luncheon 2014 Survey

Purpose of the Luncheon

The Oregon Healthy Workforce Center is developing effective interventions in Total Worker Health (TWH): Safety, health, wellness, well-being. Integration of these programs is a desirable goal. That may be a short-term or long-term goal for organizations.

There are tools and programs to improve safety, health, wellness and well-being in the workforce that are effective, that provide measurable benefits to people and organizations. However, they are not readily available to organizations. We need your help to determine what outcomes organizations want to change, and to make the best tools and interventions/solutions programs available to you in a practical form so you will use them when needed.

The focus of the OHWC’s 2014 Partner’s Luncheon on March 20 is to identify:
• Outcomes our stakeholders most want to change/improve in their organization
• Ways to improve our dissemination plans, to make them practical
