If there's one thing that's consistently true of workers' compensation programs, it is this: No matter how good your program is, there's always something new to learn—and borrow—from others doing a better job of it.

Each year, NU's Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management Award recognizes three organizations with exemplary loss control, safety and return-to-work programs. They are among the top performers in this arena, all of them featuring success stories showing proven results.

This year's winners are AmQuip, Danos and Iron Mountain, all of which will be honored on Aug. 18 during the 69th annual Workers' Compensation Educational Conference (WCEC), set for Aug. 17 to 20 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Florida.

The award is sponsored by Helmsman Management Services, a third-party administrator that offers claims management, managed care and risk-control solutions for businesses with 1,000 employees or more. Also on Aug. 18, NU Executive Managing Editor Shawn Moynihan will lead a special roundtable at 1 p.m. during which attendees can learn some of the secrets behind these award-winning programs.

Presented by the Workers' Compensation Institute, WCEC is the fastest-growing, largest gathering of its kind in the nation and offers discipline-specific programs and breakout sessions from hundreds of national speakers.
