Prioritize Best Practices in Workers Compensation Programs

When improving your workers' compensation programs, it's important to prioritize the recommendations your consultant provides. Start with an Implementation Timetable (click on Action Plan to enlarge). Put recommendations, dates for completion, person responsible for each recommendation. In Workers Comp Kit, here is how we prioritize recommendations. Modules are broken down by Critical, Needs Improvement, and Good indicating which recommendations need to be done first. Remember, in most cases ALL of the recommendations DO need to be completed; just because you are doing well, don't ignore the modules you are doing the best in because those give you the chance to become best-in-class. But start with recommendations according to the following categories: 1. Critical Modules should be done first. 2. Recommendation you can do at no cost. 3. Recommendations that can be done quickly and easily. Try the WC Cost Calculator to show the REAL COST of work comp. Look at WC 101 for the basics about workers comp. Workers' Comp Kit^® is a web-based online Assessment, Benchmarking and Cost Containment system for employers. It provides all the materials needed to reduce your costs significantly in 85% less time than if you designed a program from scratch. Do not use this information without independent verification. All state laws are different. Consult with your corporate legal counsel before implementing any cost containment programs. ©2008 Amaxx Risk Solutions, Inc.
