Business Leader Development Program Spring 2010 BLDP Seminar – Employee Health and Wellbeing
Title: Employee Health and Wellbeing
About the Seminar: The seminar will focus both on the case for why businesses are keenly interested in the physical and mental health of their employees and the ways businesses try to maintain and improve employee health. Through class activities and visits by executives, students will also learn about ways to maintain personal physical and mental health and how that can enhance their future career pursuits.
Professor: Dr. Chester Spell, Associate Professor of Human Resources Management. Dr. Spell has researched and written on various human resources topics such as adoption of employee substance abuse programs, the benefits organizations provide to employees to help balance work and family demands, and employee perceptions of the fairness of their benefits packages. Besides the considerable knowledge of Dr. Spell, there will be numerous guest speakers who will also offer their experience and expertise to seminar participants on the subject matter. The seminar provides a tremendous networking opportunity for participating students.
Qualifications: Any SBC student of sophomore standing or higher is eligible to apply for the seminar, and the 3 credits earned from the seminar are accepted as a business elective for most majors/concentrations. A student can take the seminar without completing any of the other requirements for the BLDP.
