Merging Wellness and Workers Compensation

Posted by Resource Center

Injured WorkerWhat we know for a fact: healthier employees recover more quickly from a work-related injury, and are actually less likely to even be injured. If Healthier Employees = Less Work Comp Injuries and Less Work Comp Claims, then another way of reducing work comp costs is to improve the health of your employees.

How does that culture shift play into the fact that the workforce is aging? How can an employer adjust roles and responsibilities of older workers to continue to make headway on reducing workers compensation costs?

The Aging Workforce Seminar, scheduled for May 23, 2013, held at the MRA Conference Center in Waukesha, WI, will address wellness, workers compensation and the aging workforce. How can employers finesse all three to improve efficiencies and increase profits?

Dr. Andrew Seter with Sensia Wellness will discuss a physician’s perspective on what he looks for in medical evaluations and how he advises employers with return-to-work programs. Proven Cost/Process/Behavior models will be discussed in this two hour seminar.
