  SUCCESS STORY

5Things to Discuss in the Roll-Out Conference Call
 
Recommendations for Improvement

We are planning the first conference call with 15 division-level Workers Comp Coordinators. The Risk Manager will lead the charge and my team supports him; we do the behind the scenes work, and give him the benefit of 20 years experience helping companies reduce their costs; he must be the star of the show to properly roll-out his new program. We do things such as lead the weekly implementation team conference calls, suggest and format the agenda for the RM, and customize documents from Workers Comp Kit for his review.
