You can tell a lot about your employees based on what they post on their social media pages. These include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and any number of other sites that have come on-line. This is a crucial part of information gathering during a workers’ comp claim investigation. Not only can it confirm if an employee was actually injured at work, but it can determine how severe their work injuries are.
People don’t realize that the information is public and can be seen by everybody. For those few who try to commit fraud, social media can be their undoing. The most common indication of fraud is the injured worker who can’t work due to limited mobility, but posts a photo of himself on Facebook kickboxing.
Make social media a part of your surveillance toolkit. Your workers’ comp carrier including a professional employer organization (PEO) can help you maximize the use of social media. Work Comp Staffing Solutions can help introduce you to the best PEO’s and work comp specialists.
