"In the intricate landscape of workers' compensation, where recovery is not just about healing the body but also reclaiming a sense of purpose, vocational rehabilitation emerges as a crucial player. In the diverse tapestry of New York State, where industries vary widely, understanding the role of vocational rehabilitation becomes paramount for those navigating the path from injury to a triumphant return to the workforce.”
"In New York State, reducing workers' compensation costs involves a nuanced approach that combines vigilance, employee training, regulatory compliance, and injury prevention. Employers must recognize the uniqueness of New York's regulations and workplace challenges and tailor their strategies accordingly.
By placing a strong focus on safety, regulatory compliance, and expert insights, businesses in New York can not only reduce their workers' compensation costs but also foster a safer and more productive work environment.
Remember, New York's workers' compensation system is different—your strategies should be too. Stay vigilant, proactive, and informed to navigate the intricate New York landscape effectively.”

…we’ve seen companies promote employee wellness through a number of initiatives, including step count challenges, unlimited PTO, better maternity and paternity policies, personal and professional development training, speakers series and lunchtime yoga classes.
These initiatives provide employees with opportunities to connect with one another, reduce stress levels and hit pause for a few minutes before returning to their day. But we sometimes feel our collective approach to employee wellness (we’re learning alongside the companies we support, after all!) is just a drop in the bucket compared to the overwhelming numbers on post-COVID employee burnout and stress, which all point to the same thing: Our struggle with mental health.
In the first season of VISTV, we explored the theme of leadership: What does good leadership look like? How did COVID-19 change our leadership approach? In this second season of VISTV, we dug even deeper by asking professionals about their personal experiences with wellness in the workplace.
We were lucky enough to speak to a speech language pathologist, an international opera singer, a loan officer, a licensed clinical social worker and host of E! Famously Single and a registered dietitian. We asked: What about your relationship with work are you actively working through? Where have you most recently struggled? Here’s what Kathyrn Tarner, Zachary Nelson and Brooke Evans shared with us.
After spending our first season exploring the topic of leadership, we used this season to speak to professionals about their own approach to work and wellness. We asked: What are you doing to take care of yourself? What about your relationship with work are you actively working through? What do you want to see organizations do better? Over a series of three articles, we’re compiling and sharing the very best of what they told us.
