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.
June is well underway, and companies are focused on keeping workers safe during the summer months. Heat exhaustion and new or seasonal workers are only some of their issues. For risk managers, they're also concerned about their workers' compensation programs, primarily helping employees who are injured while keeping costs down. It's a difficult balancing act, but many risk managers are doing a great job. If you're one of them, we want to hear from you by Monday, June 24.
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 it's open to companies of all sizes in all industries.
