  • Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

    Sexual harassment is a genuine threat in the workplace. It’s important to remember that even if an employee doesn’t intend to harass another employee, the perception of the employee that comments are directed towards matters. There are strict guidelines against sexual harassment, and following them can keep employees from making career-damaging mistakes.

    This training satisfies the statutory requirements for education on sexual harassment as required by specific state laws. In doing so, it covers the importance of a harassment-free workplace, the legal definitions of harassment, employer obligations, the components of anti-harassment policies, abusive conduct or bullying, retaliation, liability and remedies for harassment under the law, and how to prevent harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

  • X-Mod Review

    The experience modification rate (called the XMod) rewards companies who handle their claims well by lowering their premium, and it has the reverse effect when claims are poorly managed.


    However, as much as 60% of the data used in the XMod calculations that determine an employer’s premium is incorrect. This means you may be paying a higher rate than you should be.


    If you can improve your XMod, you can reduce your workers comp costs. That’s where XMod Review comes in.

     

    What is it?
    The XMod Review is an assessment that helps you optimize your experience modification rate on your workers’ compensation policy.

     

    What does it cost?
    The assessment is completely free to members.


    If you choose to use this service, the cost is 3-6% of the premium. This is a small charge when you consider an average ROI of 600%!


    Some Typical Results:
    • Decrease in Claim Frequency Rate of 21%
    • Decrease in Cost Per Claim of 51%
    • 30% Reduction in Loss Ratio

     

    What is the process?
    You can request an XMod Review through your member portal or by contacting us directly. We’ll ask for some standard documentation regarding your XMod, then after careful evaluation, you’ll receive a proposal which details the savings that we can offer you with XMod Review.

  • Safety Plan – Review

    OSHA is quick to scrutinize a business to determine whether the fault of injury lies with the employee or the employer. OSHA looks for two things when an accident occurs: If the business has a safety plan in place and whether it’s adequate enough to fully protect the company.

    If discrepancies are found with an existing safety plan, it could end up costing a business hundreds to thousands of dollars.

    Safety Plans are a regulatory requirement.  They also assist you in developing a Safe and Secure work environment for your company.

    Now you can get a quality review of your safety plan, so you can ensure that it protects your business in the case of an unfortunate accident.

    *Safety Plan review is for Employers with 10 employees or more only.
