The New Normal is Not Just a Cliché

Apr

I’m linking to a National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) article by Jeff Eddinger and Damian England titled Perspectives on Managing Risks During (and After) a Pandemic. This is not a scientific research paper; rather it is a summary of opinions and future expectations from NCCI interviews with industry professionals.

The main pandemic-related takeaways are as follows:

Shielding workers from an “invisible risk” is the new norm;

Risks from high workplace physical proximity in food service, healthcare, retail and education are the most challenging;

Innovative employee communication of exposures and quarantines inspire worker confidence;

Work-at-home injuries will require new technology and approaches from carriers/payors.

Doing better requires adapting to the new normal.
