To nominate your company for an award, you must be a risk manager or someone who works in the risk management department of a U.S. company, responsible at least in part for the organization's workers' comp program.
With all the technology and data available to risk managers, you would think that managing workers' compensation programs is getting easier. In some ways it is, but in other ways, the challenge of keeping employees safe and helping them return to work while managing costs is becoming more difficult. It's no wonder that workers' comp risk managers are interested in hearing from their peers on what works and what doesn't, as well as new techniques that are proving successful.
Do you have a unique risk management approach or a success story to share? We and your fellow workers' comp managers want to know about it. We encourage you to enter your program in the National Underwriter Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management Award program today. The award recognizes those with outstanding loss control, safety and return-to-work programs and is open to companies of all sizes in all industries.
Profiles: 2018 award winners
To give you an idea of the kinds of organizations that participate in National Underwriter's award program, here are brief profiles of the 2018 winners:
- New School: The Dallas Independent School District's Workers' Compensation Program dramatically cut spending while putting teachers and students first.
- All in the Family: For Cosentino's Food Stores, improving workers' comp performance means putting people first.
- Choosing Life: International Paper is on a mission to make its workplace safer than ever — and it won't stop until fatalities and life-impacting injuries are a thing of the past.
How to nominate your workers' comp program
