EMPLOYER COST REDUCTION TIPS


Remember to Update Your Best Practices

on Workers' Comp Kit


After you have taken the assessment and received your National Workers' Compensation Management Score™ (NWCMS) and customized recommendations, you will begin developing your program or making changes to your existing program. As you make improvement, change the best practices and your score will rise. This will update your score and show improvement to share with your broker and insurance company.

 

Last month, one of our clients got two quotes from insurance companies - and got out of the risk pool in Texas by showing their improved NWCMS from 29 to 56!
