Fit for work and workers’ compensation
About
South West WorkCare Forum
Tackling complex and sensitive issues in local government workforces
The past few years has seen a steep increase in the cost of workers’ compensation claims for the local government sector. Claims are becoming more severe and complex and it’s taking an average of 36 days for injured workers to return. Ultimately, on average, outcomes are worsening for both employees and local government employers. The South West WorkCare Forum has been developed using LGIS’ unique perspective to build capacity to proactively manage fitness for work issues.
The forum will give you an understanding of:
- What changes to the Workers’ Compensation Act mean for local government
- Fit for work – keeping your people healthy and happy
- People and culture, managing fitness for work
- Leaning into difficult conversations, practical tips for people leaders
- Case studies managing return to work
- The importance of preventative health programs
