2012 Symposiums – Updated Hotel Information for Vegas

Register for 2012 Regional Provider Symposiums!

The WorkSTEPS team is excited to announce major changes to its 2012 symposium schedule! This year, WorkSTEPS will host three (3) 1.5-day regional training programs in three different locations across the country. It’s our hope that by increasing the number of symposiums and shortening the length of the program, we can improve convenience and reduce your travel costs, making it easier for providers to fulfill their obligation to attend one WorkSTEPS symposium every two years.

This year’s program will provide extensive information regarding important changes to protocol, which will be presented during Saturday’s day-long Protocol Refresher Recertification program.

Friday’s half-day seminar on marketing, sales & business development will equip you with valuable information and innovative ideas specifically-designed to improve your sales and marketing efforts.

WorkSTEPS established the program for the Symposium as part of our WorkSTEPS Quality Assurance Program. WorkSTEPS requires that all licensed WorkSTEPS providers attend one symposium every two years to ensure that all providers are up to date on WorkSTEPS’ protocols, procedures, processes and policies. The program provides for consistency in both the delivery of the test and the use of the information obtained from the test in hiring, fitness for duty, and return to work decisions.  With the protocol changes that will take place this year, we strongly urge all of our providers to send at least one representative to a symposium.  You won’t regret the decision and we are confident that you will leave with a greater knowledge of the program and a fresh perspective on marketing efforts!

For questions about the Annual WorkSTEPS Symposiums, please contact Stacy Clark, Promotions /Special Events Director at (512) 617-4100 ext. 202 or via email at stacyc@worksteps.com.
