Are you particularly proud of your organization's Workers' Comp program?

Have you greatly improved your expense ratio? Instituted new loss-control or safety protocols that have greatly paid off? Or developed a return-to-work program that has reduced time off the job for injured workers?

If so, we want to hear from you.

National Underwriter Property & Casualty and PropertyCasualty360.com will once again recognize the "best of the best" in Workers' Comp this year with our Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management Award, for which we are now accepting entries. The deadline for entries is this Friday, June 24.

Three winners will be selected. Each will receive:

    • An exclusive profile in the August 2016 issue of National Underwriter Property & Casualty and on PropertyCasualty360.com.
    • Round-trip airfare and two nights' hotel accommodations at the leading event for Workers' Comp professionals — the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference, Aug. 21-24 in Orlando, Fla. — where we will present the awards. 
    • The opportunity to discuss their award-winning program during a roundtable panel held at the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference (with highlights appearing in National Underwriter Property & Casualty's October 2016 issue and on PropertyCasualty360.com).

In 1,200 words or less, entrants are asked to describe the nominated program and explain why it is deserving of recognition. Among the points you should address in your essay:

    • What makes your organization stand out in terms of Workers' Comp risk management? What makes your program unique?
    • 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.

Enter today! There is no fee for entering. Those with any questions can contact Editor-in-Chief Shawn Moynihan directly at smoynihan@alm.com.
