PIEF recap 2022

Most personal injury and workers compensation schemes around the globe are focusing on the injured worker being at the center of everything they do. When we take a step back and look at the power of influence, we can improve claims outcomes and elevate the overall experience. The power of influence is what builds trust, and when there is a trust, an injured worker is more apt to listen and make decisions that promote return to work and productivity. Earlier this month, Shane O'Dea and Kimberly George attended the PIEF conference in Australia. In this podcast, they recap the personal injury industry event — sharing insights on technology advancements and the future of workers compensation in Australia and around the world. 

National Comp Conference 2022 Recap

Staffing demands are top of mind for employers around the world and across all industries. How do we support claims examiners as case load increases, especially during a time when attracting and retaining talent is so difficult? Many employers have evolved their organizational culture to set themselves apart from the competition. And while COVID has certainly played a role in some of the workforce challenges, long-COVID has created a new landscape for employers to navigate.
