Employers, claims professionals and risk managers are navigating a tricky landscape today where changing consumer habits, increased regulation and rapidly evolving technology create risks for those who can't keep up and opportunities for those who can.
In its "The scene for 2016" report, Memphis, Tenn.-based Sedgwick Claims Management Services outlines 16 trends to watch in the current year, divided into four categories:
|- Employee health and wellness.
- Technology advancements. Legislative changes.
- Market challenges and emerging risks.
