- 3. 3 SEE NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS! Keynote Thursday, May 19, 2016, 8:00 AM–9:00 AM Einstein, Workers’ Compensation, and a New Era! Matthew Condon, JD/MBA CEO, ARC Physical Therapy+, LLC and CEO, Bardavon Health Innovations, LLC www.arcpt.com www.bardavon.com Albert Einstein gave us many lessons to learn from. One of his famous quotes was, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” In many ways, the Workers’ Compensation industry has been operating insanely for decades, repeating the same mistakes but expecting magically different results. Those days are coming to an end. Condon will share and discuss his experiences working with the employers, carriers, legislators, intermediaries, providers, and patients around the country to redefine the Workers’ Compensation experience in the new era. You will hear Condon describe how the “silo approach” to managing our employees’ health and wellness at work and home are coming to an end. A new world of data, transparency, and consumerism. This sets up new expectations for both employers and employees. Condon will cite current examples of companies that are pioneering change and innovation in their workplace, their communities, and their industries. He will teach you several simple, executable solutions that consistently have huge impact and return on investment. From hire to retire, industry leaders are changing the way they manage their work environment, hiring process, healthcare direction, and wellness to effectively manage their most valuable asset—their people. The early adoption period is almost over. The leaders are already winning the battle. Are you? Keynote Friday, May 20, 2016, 11:30 AM–12:30 PM Bring Out the Best in Your People! Dr. Charlie Cartwright Assistant Vice President Claims Cost Control Consultant Lockton Companies www.lockton.com The roles of culture and morale in the workplace are increasingly recognized for their influence on organizational effectiveness and company performance. Not only are these characteristics part of the foundation for successful companies, but they are also fundamental in creating happy, safe and productive employees. Dr. Charlie Cartwright of Lockton will discuss the importance of positive culture and morale and how to create them in one’s company. He points to a 2014 Gallup study that concluded only 31 percent of the workforce is engaged in their job, with the other 69 percent either not engaged or actively disengaged. Not only is low engagement bad for safety, but it can also cost businesses a substantial amount of money in things like productivity, recruitment costs, training, overtime, and litigation. Cartwright includes tips on how to bring out the best in employees and offers five key principles that create a culture of positivity and excitement in a company. “When culture and morale are low in a company, employee performance stalls, their health suffers, productivity plummets, and Workers’ Compensation claims jump significantly. “The best way to avoid those outcomes is by focusing on good leadership and bringing out the best in employees.” Cartwright will discuss how to avoid strained relationships and providing meaningful opportunities for growth and development. By aligning culture, business goals, and employee morale, companies can be well on their way to a positive, safe, and successful environment.
