More than 28 organizations and businesses participated in the first conference.
“Employers today are facing more challenges than ever to maintain a high-performing, healthy workforce,” Madison County Public Health Director Eric Faisst said in a press release. “We are excited to bring the conference back this year to address topics impacting leadership, wellness, and safety of our modern, post-pandemic workforce.
