The True Cost of Workers’ Compensation

The total cost of worker injuries are the premiums you pay and the indirect or uninsured claim costs. According to OSHA, indirect costs vary greatly depending on the size and type of claim, and can be several times the direct cost of the claim. This operational waste has a ripple effect throughout an organization increasing the cost of doing business and negatively impacting EBITDA.

Our strategies help clients gain control of their long-term workers’ comp costs, leading them to enhanced productivity and profitability.
