Virtual 2020 Spring Symposia

We are less than one month away from our 2020 Spring Symposia on Friday, May 29th from 9:00 AM to 3:45 PM/Pacific Time on the topic, “Workplace Aggression: Preventing relational aggression and bullying – a deeper dive.” Sponsored by the Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences and the Oregon Healthy Workforce Center, our full day event will begin with a recap where our Spring 2019 symposia left off, and continue with a deeper dive into specific lessons and tips for effectively addressing and preventing workplace aggression in all industries. To register, visit our Spring Symposia page.

This full day event will be held virtually. We are creating an online experience to still allow participants to take away original objectives. If you have already paid for in person attendance, we will be reaching out to you about substituting online webinar with options for refunds and/or credit options for future use. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
