Branson, MO\u2026The topic for the November seminar hosted by Connell Insurance is a timely one for businesses this year: Disaster Preparedness. The seminar, co-sponsored by CoxHealth and one of three held each year by Connell Insurance, is slated for the morning of November 18th at the Branson Convention Center.<\/p>\n
Ryan Nicholls, Emergency Management Director for the Springfield-Greene County Office of Emergency Management, will be discussing disaster preparedness for businesses in this area. His presentation will center on his extensive training in this field and the lessons learned from his experience with the Joplin tornado and Hurricane Katrina response teams. Ryan holds a Master\u2019s Degree in Fire & Emergency Management, as well as advanced training through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.<\/p>\n
According to Connell president Tim Connell: \u201cConsidering the horrific events of this past year ranging from floods to the Joplin tornado, we felt that a seminar on business preparedness for disasters was particularly timely. Ryan offers a wealth of experience to share with our clients and friends in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second speaker of the morning is Noah Alldredge, founder and president of BigTime Results, who will discuss the various methods employers can address for wellness in the workplace. Noah\u2019s presentation identifies activities that employers are currently using to reduce absenteeism, lower escalating health-related expenses in the workplace, improve employee morale, and motivate employees to live healthier lifestyles.<\/p>\n
Connell\u2019s Linda Welter, who manages the Life & Health Department, commented, \u201cAs a company, we were so impressed with Noah\u2019s program that we\u2019ve already implemented it for the entire staff at Connell Insurance. He has a message, backed up by results data, that every business owner and manager should hear.\u201d<\/p>\n
