Webinar: Five Steps to Managing WOrkers' Comp

Workers' Comp: Legal Issues and Best Practices

An Interactive Training Webinar Wednesday, Sept. 19 ~ 1:00 - 2:15 PM Eastern Workplace accidents are terrible for your employees. But it's the aftermath of these accidents that impacts YOUR work. From investigating mishaps to managing claims … dealing with lawyers to returning the injured employee to work... and more, the workers' comp process can be as harmful to your company as the original accident was to your employee. To help you manage EVERY facet of workers' compensation, THE HR SPECIALIST has teamed up with a top WC attorney and an insurance claims expert to make sure you understand the legal, financial, insurance AND employee-relations aspects of workers' comp in a unique webinar. Join us September 19 for Workers' Comp: Legal Issues and Best Practices. Christian Davis, a partner with the Philadelphia firm Weber Gallagher, leads you through the maze of entanglements you MUST deal with to successfully manage workers' compensation cases. Mr. Davis is joined by Janice Moore, Vice President for Workers' Comp with Chartis Insurance, to give you TWO unique perspectives on this difficult workplace challenge. The informative webinar covers: I. Accident Investigation What Constitutes Notice of Injury? Documentations and Witness Preservation Assessment of Allegations: "Does This Make Sense?” II. Interaction With Insurance Carrier or Servicing Agent What Information Does Your Claims Representative Need? Who is in Charge of the Case? Appropriate and Inappropriate Input III. Interaction With Counsel Ethical Considerations:  Communication With the Represented Employee Communication With Defense Counsel:  Whose Lawyer Is It? IV. Post-Injury Re-Employment The Good – Mitigation of Loss The Bad – Risks Inherent With Re-Employing the Injured Worker The Ugly – Subsequent Accident and Employee Morale V. Managing the Managers Education and Training Management Culture You'll discover how to deal with attorneys … investigators … insurance companies … the injured party … and ALL your employees. You'll be able to ask Mr. Davis and Ms. Moore you WC-specific questions. And because this is a webinar, there is NO LIMIT to the number of supervisors and managers who can listen with you (for one low price). Consider the cost of just ONE workers' comp claim in lost time … money … productivity … and morale, and the value of this training becomes clear.
