What if the health of your business started with the health of your people?

Employee wellbeing, workplace benefits and business performance aren’t separate conversations. They’re deeply connected, shaping everything from productivity and engagement to how well an organization attracts talent, retains its people and adapts to change.

As workforce needs shift and employers face rising costs and mounting pressures, the question for business leaders isn’t just how are our employees doing - It’s how is our workforce’s health shaping the health of our business?

New research from Pacific Blue Cross brings these pieces together for the first time, offering a holistic look at business health across British Columbia and the Yukon.

Join us as we unpack the findings, explore what’s helping—and what’s holding back—organizations today, and discuss what it takes to create healthier, more resilient workplaces that support business growth.

KEYNOTE

Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser
Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser
Four-time Olympic Gold Medalist | Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame

Considered one of the best female hockey players of all time, Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser has won seven world championships, made six Olympic appearances, and earned five Olympic medals — four of them Gold. She is a titan of sport and a leader both on and off the ice.

A first-ballot Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Wickenheiser’s hockey IQ is highly respected in both the male and female game. She has played in/coached at four NHL development camps with the Philadelphia Flyers, the Edmonton Oilers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs and formerly served as the assistant general manager of player development for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Wickenheiser announced her retirement from the national women’s hockey team in 2017. Alongside her career in the NHL, she is now also a medical doctor practicing family and emergency medicine in the Toronto-area — a pursuit she had dreamt of her whole life. She published her first book, Over the Boards: Lessons from the Ice in 2021.

In addition, Wickenheiser is a member of the Order of Canada, a retired member of the International Olympic Committee’s Athlete’s Commission, member of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, and founder of The Canadian Tire Wickenheiser World Female Hockey Festival.
