Goodwill Industries International®

2014 GILPS (Goodwill Industries Loss Prevention and Safety) Conference
November 9 -11

Denver, CO

 

Overview

The Goodwill Industries Loss Prevention and Safety (GILPS) conference is a comprehensive event that provides the insights, tools and tactics to anticipate, prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from theft, fraud, financial loss, accidents and natural disasters.

 

During this conference, Goodwill members are provided with educational programs and materials that address the business disciplines of the Goodwill operation such as retail, after market retail, workforce development, work services, contracts, transportation, accounting, marketing, and administration. Although the focus of the material is on loss prevention and safety, all professionals from across the Goodwill enterprise are invited to attend.

 

The scope of the Goodwill Industries Loss Prevention & Safety (GILPS) conference is intentionally broad and multifaceted to ensure that all potential safety and security related factors are addressed as it pertains to Goodwill’s operation and given appropriate attention in the protection of the assets to further its mission.   
 
Why you should attend!

  • According to NCCI, an average Workers Comp claim without lost work time is close to $2000.  With lost work time, the average cost skyrockets to $22,000.   If the information you gain at the GILPS conference helps you prevent 1 minor claim or if it helps you keep 1 medical-only claim from developing into a lost work time case, the conference will have more than paid for itself.  How can you afford not to send a representative to the conference?
  • Learn how to manage your insurance company, as well as how to manage your claims.
  • There are steps you can implement today to help control employee theft.  Hear what other Goodwills are doing to identify and control theft.
  • Conference budget limited? GILPS Conference registration is a bargain at $275!  Compare to RIMS $895, NSC $850, RILA $995, NRF Loss Prevention $1,200.
  • Interact with Loss Prevention and Safety personnel from Goodwills across the country who face the same issues and problems, whether they are just starting their risk management programs or whether they are pros with well-tested programs.  Learn from them; share with them.
