Benefit Spotlight: Workers' Compensation
Have
you ever thought about what you would do if you are injured while at
work? Workers' Compensation is a program that helps to provide
assistance to employees who qualify for its benefits. By
definition, Workers' Compensation is "...designed to provide
certain benefits to employees who sustain injuries, occupational illnesses,
or occupational hearing loss arising out and and in the course of
their employment."
If
you are injured while at work, your first step should always be
to seek medical care, as needed. After you have received
immediate medical assistance, you will need to report the incident
through the "First Report of Injury" portal on the
University Human Resources website.

New
Lactation Spaces Open on Campus
Beginning
this spring semester, Iowa State University announced the opening of
two new lactation spaces in 365 Heady Hall and W0061 Lagomarcino
Hall. These new spaces are an example of Iowa State
University's commitment to support the needs of nursing mothers on
campus. These rooms serve as a resource and are available to
the Iowa State University community, as well as visitors.
Last
spring, a committee of employees from the Professional and
Scientific Council, University Human Resources (UHR) and Facilities
Planning and Management (FPM), spearheaded a coordinated effort to
enhance the number of lactation spaces around campus.
These new spaces are a direct result of the work that was completed
last year.
The
addition of lactation rooms on campus makes campus a more inclusive
environment, and the Professional and Scientific Council is dedicated
to continue to advocate for the needs of nursing mothers.
