📈 The 2024 Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission (CT WCC) report reveals a troubling rise in occupational diseases. This trend underscores the need for stronger preventive measures and better protection for workers. In the face of increasing occupational health challenges, it's crucial for employers and policymakers to prioritize enhanced safety protocols and proactive health management. The insights from this report serve as a call to action for all industries to address these critical issues. Read more about the report and its findings linked below from WorkCompWire. I encourage us all to continue working together to ensure safer and healthier work environments for everyone. #OccupationalHealth #WorkersCompensation #WorkplaceSafety #ViscardiInsights #HealthManagement

Meanwhile, small businesses, like Jasper Hill Farm, continue grappling with the rising costs of providing employee health benefits. As Keith Mueller from the University of Iowa aptly notes, Vermont’s situation is a reminder that insurance is just one piece of the healthcare puzzle.
