Yesterday, we closed out the RIMS conference in San Diego with a bang, drawing 240 attendees on getaway day to hear the winners of the 2007 NU Award For Excellence In Workers Compensation Risk Management from Belk Department Stores and Rolls Royce North America share the secrets of their success in cutting the frequency and severity of claims, getting people back to work faster, and reducing the overall cost of risk, thus boosting productivity and improving the bottom line, which gets the attention of those in the C-suite. Will you be a role model for your risk manager peers next year, talking about your loss control, safety and back-to-work programs? You have until June 9 to enter the 2008 award program. Click on for details.
(If you would like the PowerPoint from yesterday's presentation, it is available on the RIMS Web site. Click here to go directly to the presentation. If you have any trouble accessing it, or are not a RIMS member, and thus cannot get into their page, e-mail me at sfriedman@nuco.com and I'll get you a copy.)
Risk managers with the most effective and innovative safety and return-to-work programs are encouraged to submit their programs for consideration for the 2008 award program.
Brokers, insurers and third-party administrators may also nominate worthy risk managers for consideration no later than May 8, who would then be contacted and invited to enter. However, risk managers need not be nominated by a third party to enter the award program.
Three finalists will receive:
A free trip to Orlando!
A representative from the risk management departments of three company finalists will be flown to Orlando to attend the Workers Compensation Educational Conference from Aug. 17-20, where the 2008 Champion will receive a trophy, while the other two finalists are given plaques for an Honorable Mention.
Profiles in NU!
The risk management programs of all three finalists will be individually profiled in the Aug. 18 edition of NU.
Additional exposure!
The finalists will also discuss the risk management challenges facing buyers at a special NU Roundtable during the WCEC on Aug. 19, with highlights printed in our Oct. 6 edition.
The NU award program, sponsored by NCCI, is run in cooperation with the WCEC (at which NU presents a National Trends program) and the Florida Workers Compensation Institute (which manages the annual WCEC event).
