In this episode, we get to know John Ruser, President and CEO at Workers' Compensation Research Institute (WCRI). According to the WCRI website, WCRI was founded in 1983 and they are an independent not-for-profit research organization which strives to help those interested in making improvements to the workers' compensation system by providing highly-regarded, objective data and analysis.  

You are in for a special treat! Yvonne and Rafael kick off this episode speaking Spanish, because they discovered John was hanging out in San Juan, Puerto Rico when they recorded the episode. ¡Que rico!

Tune in and join us as we find out more about John, how he came to be in the workers' compensation industry and how the WCRI goes about identifying the issues and trends they explore through their research. 

A peak inside this episode: John shares how WCRI has studied the impact of Covid on workers' compensation claims including the disruption Covid caused, the Great Resignation and long-haul Covid claims. 

WCRI's 38th Annual Issues & Research Conference will take place in Boston March 16-17. Visit their website for more information https://www.wcrinet.org/
