Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features Safety National’s announcement of a new complimentary webinar that examines the impacts of a labor shortage and aging workforce, as with current employees filling gaps and people working beyond retirement age, injury prevention and mitigation can become particularly difficult.
In the webinar Safety National’s risk services and medical management teams join forces, detailing the most critical considerations when adjusting to a short-tenured and aging workforce. Areas for discussion include why the talent shortage is associated with increased injury frequency; how biopsychosocial factors increase severity in older workers; what considerations to take in training practices of new employees; and how wellness programs can be your greatest ally.
