The Ripple Effect – Online

Addressing the unseen impact on your business when staff get injured outside of work

Picture this: your employee’s weekend rugby injury just became your Monday morning problem. It is a common reality – one slip on the ski slopes could sideline your employee for weeks, or a summer evening surf might leave your department deep in the weeds.

Managing the aftermath of out-of-work injuries is possible, and this practical session with James Whitaker from ACC and De Villiers Koster from Habit Health will show you how.

Whether you are dealing with a situation now, or just want to be prepared, this kōrero will help you know how to provide good support for injured staff by using work as an active part of their recovery and rehabilitation while keeping your business running smoothly. You will also learn about ways to prevent these out-of-work injuries happening in the first place.

Why Attend?
The cost of staff being injured whether it’s at work or outside the workplace often catch businesses by surprise – from productivity dips to team morale. But there is good news – the right approach can make a huge difference to preventing these injuries occurring, recovery time and team culture.

You will walk away knowing:

• The hidden costs that you might not have counted (and how to manage them).
• Which support services are already available (and free) to prevent your staff getting injured outside of work.
• How to create return-to-work plans that actually stick.
• Ways to keep your team productive during someone’s recovery.
• What you can do now to make future situations easier.

Our speakers will share real solutions that work both for your people and your budget.
