 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.

Legally can whatever decision viewers think the manager was in his rights to make be substantiated? Trainers can expect this Training Trigger to generate lively discusion of termination and a great deal of learning in the process. Length: 1:38 min.
