What Is Likely The Problem With Your Work Comp Program

It was late one March evening and a taxicab going over 115 miles per hour smashes into the back of a police car. Instantly setting that car on fire, and the officer was trapped inside. Hello, my name is Michael Stack, I’m the CEO of AMAXX.

Burning Shield – Jason Schechterle

This past week I spent several days at the annual meeting of the settlement planning organization Ringler, he’s one of the partners on my website here at Reduce Your Worker’s Comp. Now it was a great couple of days spent networking and learning and sharing ideas, but one of the highlights of that conference or of that meeting was the keynote presentation given by Jason Schechterle, who was the officer who was inside of that car hit by the taxicab. Now Jason experienced severe burns on his face, his neck, his head, and over 40% of his body. He underwent over 50 surgeries to recover from that event. His message was powerful in his keynote presentation, and the book that he wrote called the Burning Shield. I recommend checking it out.

Accountability In This Life

Jason’s message had a lot to do with taking an honest look at our circumstances, and taking accountability for where we stood and what happened. There were so many powerful lessons and inspiring keynotes that he gave throughout the course of that presentation. The one that struck me the most went like this, he said good or bad, we have an accountability in this life. Why me is not a question is not a question we can ask. He said good or bad, we have an accountability in this life. Why me is not a question we can ask. Good or bad, we have an accountability in this life. Why me is not a question we can ask. That lesson and that sentiment is so applicable to so many areas of our life. Today we’re gonna talk about how that applies to your work comp program.

You Are Likely Looking At the Problem

What I see so often, particularly from employers, is that we want to blame everyone else. It’s the adjuster, they have too high of caseload. It’s that stinking doctor, he’ll never release my employee to work or that case manager’s not getting it together. Or my attorney, he’s a real pain in the butt or she’s a pain in the butt. Or that investigator, if that investigator would just have done their job we wouldn’t be in this mess that we’re in right now. It’s such a common sentiment that we feel in our work comp programs, and generally within our own lives. Per Jason’s lesson, we need to think about how that applies to our lives, and how that applies to our work comp programs as well. Because when you wake up in the morning and you’re looking in the mirror, you need to realize that you’re likely looking at the problem.
