  • 20 Issues for the New Decade Through Rapid Transformation
    Workers' compensation does not exist within a silo. The complex challenges faced by the system are affected by external forces, including the economy, general healthcare, public policy, and the nature of work. Understanding these forces is critical to finding solutions to their impact on workers' compensation. In her July 2020 "Accidentally" podcast, IAIABC Executive Director Jennifer Wolf discusses "20 Issues for the New Decade," a presentation she gave during the Central States Association Spring Seminar in June. The discussion is still very relevant, possibly even more so, as Jennifer touches on topics including globalization, the economic forecast, financial insecurity, employment relationships, new ways of work, and healthcare coverage and delivery. Changes are happening rapidly today, and radical rethinking of the every-day is not just possible, but achievable.
