To attract and retain the best talent, employers have heightened emphasis on employee well-being in the work setting. Taking it one step further, is the option of pursuing WELL Building Certification or achieving the WELL Health & Safety Rating. Hear the design and facility management viewpoints first-hand from the Eric Romano, EUA Design Lead and Clint Dusenbery, SECURA’s Facility Manager, on how SECURA Insurance's new HQ set the vision for WELL and what efforts went into positioning the building and operational policies to support WELL Building certification. EUA's Project Manager and WELL Accredited, Michelle Dupont will join the discussion, sharing insights from her recent support of SSM Health in pursuing WELL Certification for one of their new clinics, as she translates how organizations can determine if WELL Building is the right choice for their facilities.

This event will be hosted on the terrace at EUA’s Third Ward Headquarters. Join us in an informational discussion with beautiful views of Milwaukee’s downtown and lakefront.
