Editor's Note: The three winners of National Underwriter's Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management Award share key traits that make them champions: company-wide, employee-centric safety programs that yield savings in medical costs and drive down the number of incidents; collaborative personal relationships with the organization's TPA and medical providers; thoughtfully executed return-to-work programs that get injured workers back in action as soon as possible; and most of all, sincere devotion to the well-being of their employees.

They also have some terrific stories to tell, and there are many valuable insights to be gleaned from their award-winning best practices.

This year's winners are the Dallas Independent School District, Cosentino's Food Stores and International Paper, all of which will be celebrated during the Workers' Compensation Institute's annual Educational Conference (WCEC), set for Aug. 19-22 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Florida. The award statuettes will be bestowed during the conference's general session, which begins at 9 a.m. on Aug. 20.
