 Before plunging into a new system, you need to make sure that you know what broadbanding can and will achieve, and how it will support the organization’s overall mission. If you’re considering a broadbanding program, it’s a good time to review and analyze your entire compensation system, keeping the following three steps in mind: 1. Senior management and individual line management determine the best approach and timing for implementing broadbands. 2. Specific work teams develop job families and competencies. Teams may be structured vertically or horizontality across functions. 3. Supervisors are trained to administer the program and to communicate with employees about broadbanding and its role in managing careers within your organization. Properly planned and implemented (in the right environment and for the right reasons), broadbanding can save time and money while developing multitalented employees and a more flexible reward system.
 Workers’ compensation, mandatory in almost every state, is insurance provided by all employers to pay for the care of employees who are injured or become disabled in the course of executing their duties. Employers across the U.S. currently pay billions of dollars in workers’ compensation premiums—that amount varies depending on the risks associated with the particular industry and the particular job, and also depending on the number and size of workers’ compensation claims a company has filed. It is in the best interest of every company to know how to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses. BLR's new Click 'n Train PowerPoint® presentation will help teach supervisors and managers to understand what they can do not only to help employees who need to file claims, but also how to prevent injuries and illnesses in the first place—to manage rising insurance
premiums and lost work time.
