Mission Possible Series: Reducing Your Compensable Claims by 50% Within 2 Years - Part 2

Why Should You Attend:

Workers’ compensation costs are on the rise every year. If not managed properly, workers’ compensation insurance can become a huge expense when workers become injured on the job due to safety infractions of established procedures or employee negligence.

According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses, 33% of small business owners identified workers’ compensation as a huge, critical issue. This is because, if an employee becomes injured in the workplace, workers’ compensation will step in and take care of medical bills, payment for lost time at work, and so much more. These can become huge expenses over time if not managed properly.
