WCB-Alberta, working together with our partners, will significantly and measurably reduce the impact of workplace illness and injury on Albertans. The world we live in is constantly changing; as people and as organizations, we are constantly challenged to improve. At WCB-Alberta, we want to get better at what we do because our work impacts the lives of Albertans and their families. To help us do this, we developed a plan that builds on our past and provides a clear focus for our future. This process led us to identify four strategic themes that guide all areas of our business: commitment to decision fairness, focus on a safe return to work, leveraging prevention, and financial stability.WCB-Alberta was created by government to administer the Workers' Compensation Act for the province's workers and employers. Funded by employers, we provide cost-effective disability and liability insurance for work-related injury and illness. This means we compensate workers for lost income and coordinate the health care and other services they need due to a work-related injury.
We strive for fairness when making decisions that affect the two million workers we cover, and the nearly 170,000 employers whose contributions fund worker benefits, return-to-work programs, and health care services. Working together with our partners, our goal is to significantly and measurably reduce the impact of workplace illness and injury on Albertans.more...See more text
