“Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.”

This will be our mantra when conducting a series of listening sessions across the state over the coming month. The Court of Workers’ Compensation Claims and Mediation and Ombudsman Services of Tennessee want to hear from you. We are traveling to locations nearby or at all eight offices of the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation before the year’s end with one goal in mind: to use our ears as much as possible and our mouths as little as possible. We’re committed to excellence and believe it’s critical to obtain input from you, the various stakeholders, regarding how we might constantly improve the workers’ compensation system in our state. Below is the schedule.

Murfreesboro: November 15, 10:00 a.m., Historic Courthouse on the Square, Second Floor Courtroom
Jackson: November 29, 1:30 p.m., Lowell Thomas State Office Building, Conference Room 6, First Floor
Memphis: November 30, 1:30 p.m., One Commerce Square, 40 South Main Street, Suite 500, Main Courtroom
