Employee Health & Welfare Task Force: Update

EICC members are concerned about employee health and welfare, and are particularly concerned about workplace suicide in the Asia region. As a result, the EICC Board of Directors has approved development of a task force to help EICC members understand societal and other factors that affect employee health and welfare. The task force mission and objectives are available here. Contact Brad Cameron for more information or to register Asia-based personnel on the task force.
