The WCB system was never perfect…but it didn’t have to be. It was just supposed to hold on to its promise which is to take care of injured workers in the most cost-effective way for the employer.
More and more evidence is coming up and it has a lot of people asking questions.
Well Simplifiers I’m pissed and so are many of you.
When I reflected on the past year, and replayed the conversations with folks just like you, it makes sense why we can’t help but wonder why the WCB system is so messed up and is there any way to change it.
In an emotionally charged discussion I delve deeper into:
- Why the WCB system is broken,
- Who needs to fix it,
- How to fix it,
and how to protect you, your company, and your employees.
