SESSION 3

11:30 am – 12:00 pm
Deeper Dive into Workers’ Compensation Risk Management 

Speaker:
Mark Toriello, CWCP, PWCA Managing Director, The Alliance Group

What You’ll Learn:

The current process of managing workers compensation risk and expense control is flawed. There are a myriad of strategies that can be employed that few have the expertise or time to implement. In addition; claims management can be a black box where employees and employers are often at a great disadvantage.  The following is a list of some of the strategies we will cover that have been successful in creating a foundation of sustained workers compensation risk management and expense reduction for our clients:

  • Gaining greater accountability when it comes to claims payments and reserves, light duty and getting claims closed.

  • How to gain greater confidence that your injured workers are getting the best medical outcomes.

  • Help in hiring employees who are physically capable of doing the job.

  • Educating supervisors on the importance of their role before and after an injury occurs?

  • We will show you how we advocate for our clients and their injured employees.
