Lowering Workers’ Comp Costs – Best Practices webinar attracted over 750 industry professionals, including employers, risk managers, safety directors, brokers, consultants, or producers involved in claims management, specific aspects of cost containment, and/or, the latest workers’ comp strategy issues.

A panel of experts speakers, California Pizza Kitchen’s David Williams, Blackstone Consulting’s Mark Newman, AJG’s Bob Walker, Amaxx Risk Solutions’ Rebecca Shafer and Michael Stack, and Advisen’s Dave Bradford, discussed how organizations, big and small, can hone their pre-injury and post-injury procedures in order to significantly reduce their workers’ comp expenses by applying proven workers’ comp best practices.
