Even though you take steps to keep your employees safe from workplace accidents and illnesses, the unpredictable sometimes happens. When it does, Workers Compensation insurance can provide benefits to your employees and help protect your business financially.
As HR you may or may not have a direct specific responsibility for workers’ compensation matters; however you can have a major impact on the financial and human costs of job related injury.
This session looks at the basics of Workers Compensation, what employers can and should be doing, and what to expect from insurance carriers and doctors. Learn how to be proactive in managing issues around job related injury, participate in the management of claims, and avoid some of the pitfalls faced by employers in getting injured employees back to work.
