It is one thing to stay current on what to do if an employee is hurt on the job when you're wearing your “producer” hat. However, when one of your own is injured on the job, you may need some review to make sure you take all the right steps.
Experts who deal daily with these workplace incidents are clear as to where an employer's focus should be: Helping the employee return to work. Supporting that effort however you possibly can will help the employee heal better and probably faster, and will get your valued staffer back on the team. It also will save you significant money in workers' comp costs.
The same experts also stress that a clear message is sent to all employees when the boss takes steps that show care and concern, affirming the value of the employee.
