Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Board, we extend to you our warmest invitation to join us at APEAR 2010. Held from 10 – 12 June 2010, this Conference will provide numerous opportunities for Managers, HR, Occupational Health and Workplace Safety Professionals, Counselors, Psychologists, Work Life and OD Specialists, General Practitioners, Psychiatrists, Health Promotion Champions and other Mental Health Professionals committed to the well-being of people in the workplace to share practice insights, research findings and the latest in Employee Assistance, organizational and professional practices in the Asia-Pacific region.

Our Conference Theme, “Driving Business Competitiveness: Investing in Mental Fitness and Employee Engagement” underlines the growing evidence about the significance of people or organizational “software” in successful businesses. In the work environment, people who are mentally alert and better engaged at work tend to be more productive and contribute more to the bottom line. With organizations concerned about retaining talent and managing business costs, investing in people is a non-negotiable business competitive distinctive.

With many organizations within the Asia Pacific region growing optimistically as they anticipate increasing business opportunities, the demand for professionals and leaders who can partner organizations towards their staff’s mental resilience and work engagement will become urgent. As people professionals we must ready ourselves to be vital contributors to organizations seeking to develop their competitiveness.
