Registration Open for 2025 SIH Workers' Compensation Symposium

SIH Work Care invites professionals across the region to attend the 2025 Workers’ Compensation Symposium on Thursday, June 12, a leading event designed to address timely topics in occupational health, workplace safety, employee wellness and workers' compensation trends. This annual event brings together a dynamic mix of employers, human resource professionals, safety officers, occupational health clinicians, case managers and industry leaders who are committed to creating safer, healthier and more productive workplaces.

This year’s keynote speaker is Illuminative Strategies Senior Process Architect Bart Welker with a compelling presentation titled “Team Excellence – Building High-Performance Teams.” He’ll share insights on building cultures where collaboration and innovation are embedded into everyday operations—and how that can transform outcomes across an entire organization. Welker holds a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology from Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) and an Master’s in Business Administration in Project Management from University of Management and Technology in Arlington, VA. He’s also a member of SIUC’s Industrial Management and Applied Engineering Advisory Board.

Attendees will gain practical tools for team development, injury prevention strategies, return-to-work solutions and evolving best practices in workers' compensation management.

“Whether you’re navigating injury claims, managing workforce wellness programs or leading safety initiatives, the SIH Workers' Compensation Symposium offers the insights and connections to move your organization forward,” said SIH Director of Rehabilitation Services Dena Kirk.
