Workers’ Compensation: What Supervisors Need to Know

Course description

A supervisor’s actions can either make workers’ compensation a smooth process that supports employees in a time of need or turn it into a nightmare of headaches and liability. Supervisors working with employees are in the best position to spot and guide employees who may need to file a claim as well as to help the organization control costs by modeling and encouraging best practices that prevent workplace injuries and illness. This course explains the benefits of workers’ compensation and a supervisor’s role in the process. At the end of the training session, you will be able to recognize the purpose and benefits of workers’ compensation, complete reports and help workers file claims, maintain contact with employees on leave and ease their return to work, and help prevent workplace accidents and keep workers’ comp costs down.
