**DEADLINE EXTENDED: ENTRIES ACCEPTED UNTIL FRIDAY, JUNE 12.**
Minimizing workplace injuries and controlling workers’ compensation costs are top of mind for most businesses.
If you have a manufacturing facility or you’re in construction, for example, you’re thinking about the topic every day. You might ask yourself: “How are we doing with our workers’ compensation program?” and “How can we improve?” Your risk managers also are speaking with their peers at other businesses to learn what they’re doing, what techniques they’re using, and what’s successful.
If you have a unique risk management approach or a success story to share, we'd like to hear about it -- and so would our readers. Enter your company in the National Underwriter Excellence in Workers’ Compensation Risk Management Award program today. The award recognizes those with outstanding loss control, safety and return-to-work programs and is open to companies of all sizes in all industries.
Your award-winning program will be featured here on PC360.com; in the pages of our August print edition; and in a special panel at the Workers' Compensation Institute's annual Educational Conference in Orlando.
The 2015 award is co-sponsored by Safety National, which offers a range of alternative risk funding products for workers’ compensation through independent insurance agents and brokers, and Sedgwick Claims Management Services Inc., the leading global provider of technology-enabled claims and productivity management solutions.
There is no fee for entering your submission for this award.
How to nominate your workers’ comp program
To nominate your company for an award, you must be a risk manager or someone who works in a risk management department of a U.S. company, responsible at least in part for the organization’s workers’ comp program. You also must fill out an application, including a company profile, which will be kept confidential. Submissions must be received by June 17, 2015, to be considered.
