- What is your organization's top Workers' Comp concern, and what are you doing to address it?
- Detailed loss-control and safety programs. What changes have been implemented to improve your loss experience?
- How has your Workers' Comp loss-control program evolved over the past three years?
- How do you work with your insurer, broker, safety consultant or third-party claims administrator to limit the frequency of Workers' Comp claims, as well as control severity costs for those claims that are filed?
- How do you manage your return-to-work programs?
- How do you handle claims management? What protocols are in place with your insurer or third-party administrator to make sure claims are adjusted fairly and within a reasonable time?

Those entering must be a risk manager or someone who works in a risk management department of a U.S. company, responsible at least in part for the company's Workers' Comp program. Entrants must fill out all of the company profile information in the online application. All proprietary information will be kept confidential, and is being collected for judging purposes only.
