Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features Out Front Ideas with Kimberly and Mark’s announcement of its next free webinar, which will examine a different viewpoint on workers’ comp as a benefits system – which is whether we consider what we do to avoid potential harm that the system may cause.
OFI noted that this is a nuanced issue, as there are clearly some misaligned incentives, complex claims processes and procedures, and a unique system that are daunting and intimidating to injured workers. In the webinar a panel will dig into the workers’ compensation system to identify areas of weakness and inefficiency, and will also suggest changes and technological advances that could provide a better experience and outcome for both injured workers and employers.
