Summary

It's sometimes easy to take employee safety for granted, but cities that have had to deal with workplace injuries know how critical workers' compensation coverage and a safe working environment is to a successful organization. This month we talk to Jeff Hovey and Dean Schade of the Iowa Municipalities Workers' Compensation Association (IMWCA) about the importance of safety and workers' compensation. IMWCA is an endorsed program of the League and is housed in the League offices. Jeff and Dean share their perspectives on working with cities and other local governments and what employers can do to improve their workplace safety. The Your Questions Answered segment features the curious question of whether we have different classifications of cities in Iowa. And the Get to Know Your League interview features Jeff and Dean, who were kind of enough to stick around and share more about themselves. Stick around to the end to hear last month's trivia answer while also getting the next brain buster. Send your feedback, questions and trivia answers to [email protected]!
