Workers’ Compensation in 2030
Chris Mandel, CPCU, CCSA, ARM-E, AIC
President, Founder & Managing Consultant, Excellence in Risk Management, LLC
Chris Mandel discusses how workers’ compensation will look in ten years, through the lens of Dr. Richard Victor’s recently published book, “Scenarios for the 2030s: Threats and Opportunities for Workers' Compensation Systems”.
There are four main forces causing the change:
- demographic forces, such as age of workforce - baby boomers reaching retirement,
- case shifting,
- social security and disability and
- the changed environment of workers' compensation and reform.
Additionally, Chris elaborates on four aspects risk managers and practitioners can implement with this information, how to address loss prevention and building organizational resilience for systemic issues.
