The Employer’s Advocate
The employer pays 100% of Workers’ Compensation costs therefore, the employer needs an advocate
A Dedicated Advocate
We alll know that the employer pays 100% of Workers' Compensation and Insurance-related premiums. In order to make wise business decisions, the employer needs unbiased and highly skilled advice.
Different interests, different perspectives
The complex worlds of Insurance, Risk Mangement and Workers' Compensation are comprised of many unique specialists. Each of these specialists has a unique and often divergent opinion about what is right for the corporation.
Different Interests
- Each Stakeholder makes decisions which are often not in the Employer's best interest.
- Insurance Buyers prioritize price
- Employees' interests are job security and raises
- Plant Managers focus on productivity
- Safety Managers focus on OSHA
- Lawyers seek to litigate
- Claims Administrators seek to process claims systematically
- Insurance Providers prioritize internal budget issues
- HR Personnel focus on people issues
- Physicians focus on maximizing treatment
- Nurses focus on treatment plans as directed by the insurance provider
A highly effective Risk Management Executive cannot rely solely on the advice of their insurance agent, their corporate doctor, lawyer nor even the business' own HR department. Each one of these unique specialists will provide advice based on their unique perspective, not the perspective of the corporation overall.
