The Coming Workplace Shortage Crisis: Exploring the Future of Workers' Compensation

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 - 11am-12:00pm CST

Join CNA©'s Shari Falkenburg in a special RM/I sponsored webinar on the future of the workers’ compensation industry.

In this virtual classroom, you’ll explore how workforce shortages, redeployment of the military to civilian jobs and a more diverse workforce represent "shifts" for employers. You’ll also explore workplace business challenges facing employers before the injury occurs.

Session 2 – Risk Management – Working With A Changing Workforce

Selecting skilled, dependable employees is the first step in helping to avoid long-term financial problems. In our second session, we’ll look at proactive strategies you can use to do just that. Beyond background checks, this session will also focus on the importance of cultural diversity – with an understanding that building a safety culture must take into account the needs of non-English speaking employees who work in hazardous professions. Finally, this session will look at the real financial effects of workers’ compensation premiums when using pre-loss risk management strategies.
