Workers’ Compensation: Legal Issues & Effective Case Management

Duration: 60 minutes

HR and Safety professionals like you fight an uphill battle when it comes to controlling workers compensation costs. Why? Because in many cases you don’t learn about worker injuries and comp claims until it’s too late to do anything about them. The result: You pay every claim and have to deal with the related expenses.

Why does the process fail? Because those involved with workplace injury cases, supervisors, workers and medical providers, don’t have the information they need about workers comp to make the best decisions.

Supervisors don’t know exactly what to do when a worker reports an injury so documentation is delayed, incomplete or sloppy. Workers may not understand that filing a claim is not always in their best interest – but they file anyway. And medical providers, who don’t know about your Return-to-Work programs, may just tell workers to stay home.

As a result, claims that might have been avoided get pushed through the process.

Fortunately, you can do something about it. By using some new best practices in communication and Case Management you can significantly reduce workers comp costs in your organization.

This audio conference will outline the specific steps you should take to maximize your cost control efforts through this unique approach.
