The ADJUSTED podcast was truly an eye-opening experience that provided valuable insights into the world of empathetic adjusters in the workers' compensation system. From start to finish, this podcast was a treasure trove of information and showcased the remarkable mindset and dedication of these often undervalued professionals. The panelists were exceptional, displaying professionalism, compassion, and extensive knowledge in their field.
One of the best aspects of this podcast was its ability to shed light on a topic that is often overlooked or misunderstood. Workers' compensation is a complex system that can be overwhelming for those going through it, yet this podcast managed to make it accessible and relatable. The panelists passionately shared their experiences and anecdotes, providing listeners with a clear understanding of the challenges faced by adjusters and the importance of empathy in their line of work.
Another commendable aspect of The ADJUSTED podcast was its ability to humanize adjusters. Often seen as faceless bureaucrats or simply seen as someone who denies claims, adjusters are rarely recognized for the critical role they play in aiding injured workers. This podcast effectively showcased their commitment to helping people navigate through difficult circumstances and advocated for their recognition and appreciation. It was refreshing to hear stories that highlighted the positive impact adjusters can have on individuals' lives.
However, one potential drawback of this podcast was its relatively narrow focus on empathetic adjusters. While understanding their mindset is crucial, exploring other perspectives within the workers' compensation system could have provided a more well-rounded discussion. A broader range of topics such as legal challenges, bureaucratic hurdles, or even perspectives from claimants themselves would have further enriched the content.
In conclusion, The ADJUSTED podcast exceeded expectations with its informative nature and emphasis on empathetic adjusters in the workers' compensation system. It allowed listeners to gain a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by both claimants and adjusters alike while highlighting just how vital these professionals are in ensuring fair and compassionate resolutions. The panelists' professionalism, compassion, and expertise made this podcast a must-listen for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge on this often misunderstood area of the workforce.
The art of listening might be the most undervalued skill in our professional toolkit. In this enlightening conversation with executive coach Tim Hast, author of "Powerful Listening, Powerful Influence," we explore why truly hearing others is so challenging yet so essential.Tim shares his journey from trauma counselor to executive coach, discovering that regardless of industry or position, many leaders receive feedback that they simply don't listen well enough. As host Greg Hamlin reveals his own surprising 360-review feedback about his listening skills, we learn that perceiving ourselves as good listeners and actually making others feel heard are entirely different matters.Why do we struggle to listen effectively? Tim introduces us to the concept of HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) – conditions that severely impair our ability to focus on others. Even more fundamentally, our natural tendency to make everything about ourselves creates a significant barrier. From childhood, we're conditioned to believe the world revolves around us, making genuine listening a conscious choice rather than our default setting.The heart of the episode revolves around Tim's transformative "R-listening" approach – Active, Reflective, Empathic listening – and his four practical steps anyone can implement immediately: listen patiently, with your body, with your voice, and with your mind. These techniques have the power to revolutionize both professional relationships and personal connections alike.For workers' compensation professionals dealing daily with individuals experiencing trauma, pain, and frustration, these listening skills aren't just nice-to-have – they're essential for building trust, resolving complex cases, and truly serving claimants. The parallels between effective claims handling and powerful listening are unmistakable.Whether you're managing a department, working directly with injured workers, or simply trying to improve your relationships, this episode offers practical wisdom that can be implemented today. As Tim reminds us, when we truly listen, we give others the gift of feeling understood – perhaps the most powerful influence we can have.Season 9 is brought to you by Berkley Industrial Comp.

Late-reported workers' compensation claims cost 45% more than those reported promptly – a startling statistic that reveals how critical timing can be when managing your company's experience modification factor. This hidden multiplier determines whether your business pays more or less for workers' comp insurance and, for contractors especially, can determine whether you qualify for jobs at all.Jeremy Morrison, Director of Underwriting at Berkeley Industrial with 20 years in workers' compensation, breaks down the complex world of E-mods with refreshing clarity. He explains how the classification system uses three years of historical data to compare your company's performance against similar businesses in your industry. The resulting math produces a multiplier that can significantly impact your bottom line – particularly as your business grows.We tackle common misconceptions about claims management, including why paying medical-only claims out-of-pocket often backfires financially. Jeremy explains how these claims are heavily discounted in the E-mod calculation and why prompt reporting nearly always saves money in the long run. We also explore why the system penalizes frequency more than severity, capping the impact of any single large claim on your rating.Perhaps most valuable is our discussion about partnership. The strongest workers' comp programs emerge when claims adjusters, underwriters, risk management specialists, and business owners communicate openly about goals and challenges. When everyone understands how their role impacts the others, better outcomes naturally follow. For workers' compensation success, we truly believe that teamwork makes the dream work.Think differently, care deeply, and discover how proper claims handling can transform your experience modification factor from a mysterious penalty into a competitive advantage.

"We're creating that room for people to be in the right place, to meet the right people, to grow their career."From accidental beginnings to intentional leadership – that's the journey so many of us take in the insurance industry. This fascinating conversation with Amy Cooper, founder of RISE and VP of Carrier Practices at Gallagher Bassett, reveals how one organization is transforming the future of insurance talent development.Like most professionals, Amy stumbled into insurance by chance. But what she found was an industry full of opportunity paired with a looming talent crisis. Her response? Creating RISE – now a thriving community of over 7,000 members across 14 countries dedicated to developing the next generation of insurance leaders.The timing couldn't be more critical. As Amy explains, the industry faces a perfect storm: mass retirements accelerated by COVID-19 combined with remote work environments that eliminate organic mentoring opportunities. RISE addresses these challenges by providing free membership and structured development programs that complement technical training with crucial "human skills" development.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is the practical advice for both early-career professionals and companies looking to attract top talent. Amy outlines specific strategies for getting involved with RISE's mentorship programs, educational series, and committees. She also shares insights on how companies can better attract Gen Z through mission-driven storytelling, technological innovation, and meaningful workplace flexibility.The passion behind RISE shines through in Amy's gratitude for the volunteer mentors and board members who make the organization's work possible. Their collective commitment reminds us that while insurance might be an "accidental" career for many, developing the next generation of leaders requires intentional effort from everyone in the industry.Whether you're just starting your insurance journey or looking to give back after years in the field, this episode offers valuable perspective on how we can collectively shape the future of our industry through meaningful connection and growth.Season 9 is brought to you by Berkley Industrial Comp.

In this heartfelt episode of "Adjusted," we explore life after catastrophic injury with Julie Greer, Senior Catastrophic Claims Specialist at Berkley Industrial Comp, and Steve Ehretsman, the late founder of Shamrock Prosthetics. When Steve lost his leg following a workplace accident, he identified a critical gap in the recovery process: the lack of coaching for the mental and physical challenges of adapting to life as an amputee. This experience, combined with his coaching background, inspired him to establish Shamrock Prosthetics, where his team adopts a unique approach to supporting amputees.Julie and Steve share their insights on reconstructing lives after workplace amputations through innovative prosthetic solutions and empathetic claims management. Their collaboration highlights how listening to injured workers' goals and providing real-world functional testing can lead to better outcomes than standard prosthetic protocols.If you find this episode valuable, please like and share it, and subscribe for future episodes.

What happens in those crucial moments when customers reach out for help?
