Job Complexity

Coordinate efforts to minimize repetitive motion injuries.

This involves the Operations (Production) and Engineering (and Maintenance) teams as they are responsible for the equipment used in the production and packaging of Godiva products as well as developing work practices associated with production. It also includes educating Marketing, Packaging Engineering and Creative Services so that they can design packing components and techniques that reduce the risk to Godiva employees
Managing difficult Workers\' Compensation cases. Some employee work related injuries are severe, or due to the length of recovery, become difficult to manage. Coordination between the employee, the Workers\' Compensation insurance carrier, the medical providers and the employee\'s Supervisor/Manager is necessary to ensure the employee returns to work in a timely fashion, receives the best possible medical care for the injury/illness and limits the risk to the business. Perform and assist in incident investigations to ensure claim accuracy and develop corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence. This is a more difficult task on the Retail side as each state has different Workers\' Compensation Laws and requires a greater level of partnership with the Workers\' Compensation Insurance company and retail Store Managers.
