Agenda for National Workers Compensation Summit 2012 launched!

Announcing the launch of IIR’s 13th annual National Workers Compensation Summit 2012 held on the 20-21 February 2012 in Melbourne next year!

A few highlights for the 2012 event so far…
This year’s Summit welcomes international speakers Alison Heller-Ono, President and CEO, Worksite International Inc, Monterey, CA – USA who will be talking about building a safe and healthy work culture through participatory ergonomics, and Dr David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor, Occupational Safety Health Administration, OSHA, Department of Labor, Washington, USA who will be talking about the linkages between occupational safety and health and workers’ compensation in the US: Perspective from OSHA.

We also welcome Graeme Cowan, Author, International Speaker, Consultant, Director of RUOK? Day to the speaking panel of NWC 2012. Through his own devastating 5 year episode of depression and dealing with multiple intermediaries whilst receiving income protection insurance, Graeme shares some views in achieving better social and financial outcomes for the employee, employer and the insurer. His research shows that most vulnerable employees believe organisations don’t have sound practices in place to stop little problems turning into big ones. He’ll also be talking about the things that relevant parties need to change to avoid paying heavily in these tumultuous times.
