Two Important Factors in Determining Your Value as an Employee

All companies have some form of metrics set up to help them gauge the performance and engagement of their employees. A few decades back, companies focused on performance management, as they believed that clear objectives, the right strategy and vision, people with skill sets, and alignment toward their goals were the key to creating a successful company. In more recent times, newer metrics that involve employee engagement have been introduced. However, employee performance remains the primary factor in determining the value of an employee.

Factors that Determine Employee Value

The two main factors that determine an employee’s worth to their company are the following:

  • Employee Performance. An employee’s performance is the easiest to track and measure because it is based on established metrics. This is the reason why most organizations cannot let go of this traditional way of gauging an employee’s performance and capabilities.
  • Employee Engagement. Aside from performance KPIs, employees are also measured by how engaged they are. Engaged employees are said to be more passionate about their work and are more likely to perform better. In contrast, disengaged employees tend to be less driven, so their likelihood of success is very low.

However, everything you’ve worked for could change if you get injured at work since you won’t be able to perform as well as you did before.

What Does a Worker’s Compensation Attorney Do?

One day you are at the top of your game. You’re hitting all of the performance KPIs set by your company, you are the employee of the month, and the boss’s apple of the eye. But a work-related injury can change all of that in the blink of an eye.

No matter how careful you are, accidents can still happen at work, such as a back injury from carrying heavy loads or you can fall down a flight of stairs or slip on a puddle on the floor and break your arm. Even the development of carpal tunnel syndrome from years of typing can also be considered an injury.

Under the worker’s compensation law, you are entitled to receive a number of benefits depending on the injury you sustained. The benefits include:

  • Permanent Total or Partial Disability Benefits
  • Temporary Partial Disability Benefits
  • Wage Reimbursements
  • Medical Benefits
  • Vocational Rehabilitation
