SCS offers a worker's compensation training seminar for supervisors and union leadership.
The seminar overcomes objections such as:
" Once an injury occurs, it's out of my hands "
" I have no jobs for injured employees "
" I don't return employees until they are 100% "
" Our union has a policy not to let injured employees return "
Training supervisors in key workers compensation fundamentals is important in helping supervisors guide their employees through the system. Because of the pivotal role supervisors play in a workers compensation program, supervisors must be educated in workers compensation matters. The investment in comprehensive and ongoing training for supervisors can be one of the most "cost effective initiatives the company undertakes.
To enable supervisors to help manage the workers compensation in their units, supervisors should be trained in the following: 1) fundamentals of the workers compensation system, 2) the cost impact of job-related injury claims, and 3) specific actions supervisors must take to control workers compensation costs.
