What should a business owner do when an employee is injured at work? Having an employee workplace injury system in place can help you respond quickly, document the incident, communicate with the right people, and manage what happens next.

In this episode of Systems with Sonja, Sonja Caison walks through four steps to think through an employee workplace injury: getting medical help, management response, documenting the incident, and handling medical information and modified duty.

You'll also learn why having a workers' compensation system before an injury happens can help your management team know what to do when something unexpected occurs.
