Have you counted the days until the end of the decade? That’s right, another decade comes to a close soon and there are even fewer working days between now and then.

If your company doesn’t already have a policy regarding a return-to-work program for employees who have been injured on-the-job, you should consider putting one in place.

You can avoid the stress associated with an extended absence by cross-training your workers. If you teach Worker A to do Worker B’s job, and vice versa, not only does that give your staff more skills (which improves their value within the company), this can rescue productivity when someone is absent, or when an employee has an injury that no longer allows them to perform the job for which they were hired.

The beginning of a new year is a great time to reflect on what went well and not so well in the preceding year. Individuals do it, and so should businesses.
