Our methodology

The first step in developing your workers’ compensation loss profile is conducting a baseline study of your program. Our analysis interprets more than 20 key performance indicators and metrics, enabling you to understand past years’ program performance.

In addition, our consultants compare your results against your industry peer organizations, adding another dimension to your profile. Our experts discuss your profile results with you to review cost reduction opportunities and develop a continuous improvement plan.

Our results summary

We provide you with a results summary, which identifies loss cost drivers and offers recommendations to improve specific aspects of your program, including:

Large losses.
Claim closure rates.
Severe medical payment types.
Synergy with third-party administrators and vendors.
Nature of injury types.

Our comprehensive analysis provides a holistic picture of your workers’ compensation program and costs and includes pre- and post loss strategies that support cost mitigation and loss reduction activities. The workers’ compensation loss profile may even lead to cost reductions beyond claims, including, for example, those related to collateral requirements, letter-of-credit requirements, and premiums—which directly impact your bottom line.

In addition to cost-saving strategies, our findings can help validate current polices and procedures as well as become a useful tool in workers’ compensation program renewal or marketing efforts.
