The Richards Group Educational Workshop Series presents:

5 Things to Know About Workers Compensation

The term Workers Compensation can make many people cringe, employers and employees alike. But it is something employers must learn to administer properly. In this session, we will cover 5 key pieces to any Workers Comp program that can help us better understand this specific insurance,  how to control claims when they do happen and how our safety programs play a key role in prevention.

This work-session is being offered free to our community businesses.  It is attended for anyone in a Human Resources or Safety role and would benefit supervisory/management positions as well. However, we invite you to pass this along, within your organization, to anyone who you feel would benefit from the work-session.
