It’s no secret that companies and their risk managers all want to reduce Workers’ Compensation claims. You would be hard-pressed to find a risk manager who didn’t list that as among his or her goals. But that’s easier said than done.

This presents an opportunity for brokers to communicate the benefits of these voluntary policies to a client’s workforce and serve as a trusted advisor and educator.
