It's always a good time to celebrate a successful workers' compensation risk management program, especially this month when we're accepting nominations for the National Underwriter Excellence in Workers' Compensation Risk Management Award program.
If 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 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: 2016 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 2016 winners:
- Better Blocking: SMS Holdings Corporation's message of "Stop. Think. Act." and a set of revised protocols led to a laudable reduction in claims.
- On a (Pork) Roll: Operating live-animal sites and pork production plants poses unique workers' comp and claims management challenges for Seaboard Foods. Here's how they tamed the slippery pig.
- Family First: Stater Bros. Markets' knowledge of the chain's risks — and a slate of solutions to meet them — has paid dividends.
Nominating your workers' comp program
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. You also must fill out an application, including a company profile, which will be kept confidential. Submissions must be received by Monday, June 26, to be considered.
If your program is selected as one of the three award winners, you'll receive
- An exclusive profile in the August 2017 issue of National Underwriter Property & Casualty and on PropertyCasualty360.com.
- Round-trip airfare to the leading event for Workers' Comp professionals — The Workers' Compensation Educational Conference on Aug. 6–9, 2017, in Orlando, Florida — where we'll present the awards, and two nights' hotel accommodations. (Learn more about the event here.)
- The opportunity to discuss your award-winning program during a roundtable panel held at the Workers' Compensation Educational Conference (with highlights appearing in National Underwriter Property & Casualty's October 2017 issue and on PropertyCasualty360.com).
