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
