The event will take place on Wednesday, June 4th from 7:30-10:30AM at the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport, ME. Moderated by Kim Anania, President & CEO at KMA Human Resources Consulting, this year’s forum centers on “Workplace Safety, Wellness, and Mental Health: The Business Role in Supporting Employee Well-Being.”

As organizations across Maine and beyond navigate a rapidly evolving work environment, this forum offers business leaders a platform to explore proactive strategies for building safer, healthier workplaces. Mainebiz is excited to welcome a powerhouse panel of industry leaders, who will share their insights, challenges, and successful strategies for driving a culture of wellness and care in the workplace:

Forum Highlights:

• Best practices in injury prevention, compliance, and workplace violence mitigation
