“I was very honored to participate as a speaker in the 1st Latin American Healthy Workplace Summit. It was a real surprise for me to learn about the well-organized event, topics and level of speakers. It was also an “eye opener” understanding the level that many countries have in our region with respect of different ways to promote health in the workplace. Forum like these, will bring many developing opportunities for those leading the health programs in different companies to learn and share experiences that will allow every single company to create and develop a health program, tailor to their different sizes and resources. Regardless of the country, we all are dealing with the same challenges and health problems that have impact in the workplace. Creating synergy and collaboration among all of us, sharing our best practices to have a better work environment helping employees to have healthier lives will create a positive impact in the productivity of the companies.” – Sao Paulo 2013
