Upcoming Conferences Health Work & Wellness Conference 2010: Thinking Organizations...SUCCEED!
Health Work & Wellness™ is a forum for sharing better, healthier ways of doing business, and each year we focus on the pertinent issues and ideas of the day. For 2010 our focus will be on helping you to build a "thinking organization". This means exploring the human side of dealing with change, learning how to learn, and looking at what neuroscience is telling us about how our brains adapt to change. Creating a thinking organization will require engaged, empowered leadership. It requires us to narrow the "knowing-doing gap". It means integrating organizational health with business objectives. And it may require a big culture shift. Conference website: http://conferences.healthworkandwellness.com/index.php Whiplash 2010: Neck Pain in Car Crashes

Two years of progress in biomechanical research and in technical innovations for avoidance of these injuries will be reported at the conference. The effect of upgraded Whiplash ratings and safety tests will be reflected and new trends are analyzed. The international research part of the conference on November 18/19 is extended by national reports from Germany, Austria and Switzerland on November 20 showing their situation and experiences in these countries.
