Nominate today: 2021 Workers' Comp Risk Management Award
Our annual Workers' Comp Risk Management Award for Excellence recognizes outstanding loss control, safety and return-to-work programs.
Here at the 2021 midway point, COVID-19 dominates fewer headlines and conversations than it did a year ago. But the pandemic has indelibly changed worker and workplace behaviors and policy.
For instance, a recent survey by the Sequoia Consulting Group found that:
- There has been 50% growth in the number of companies strategically focused on employee emotional health in the past year;
- One-third of companies now have “forced vacations,” and
- Seven in 10 companies have rolled out new diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs over the last year.
Here’s another notable change from last year: The Worker’s Compensation Institute (WCI) returns in 2021 with its in-person Educational Conference. This is where winners of NU PC360′s annual Workers’ Comp Risk Management Award for Excellence will be honored.
This award program sponsored by Sedgwick and Safety National in conjunction with WCI spotlights stories about ingenuity, collaboration and humanity in the workers’ compensation insurance and risk management sectors. WCI’s 75th Annual Workers’ Compensation Educational Conference and 32nd Safety & Health Conference happens Dec. 12-15, 2021, at the Orlando World Center Marriott.
