Local government agencies are looking for solutions to help mitigate risk and reduce costly claims. This is more important now than ever as the last couple of years have been expensive for companies across the United States.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, reports that one worker died every 99 minutes from a work-related injury in 2019. Liability concerns, such as workplace injuries, cost U.S. companies over $1 billion weekly in 2019 and if trends found by Business Insurance continue, the average total costs of risk for businesses (TCOR) is on the rise – seeing a 2.1% increase in 2018.
To help your agency limit your exposure to risk and protect employees, Vector Solutions (TargetSolutions) is highlighting its top 20 courses for reducing liability.
Ensuring a safe, productive work environment is easier said than done. As developments in technology continue, organizations’ exposure to risk increases via cyber-attacks, social media and other channels. In a recent survey, Aon reported the largest risk concerns for U.S. businesses include cyber-attacks, damages to their brand/reputation, business interruption (BI) and regulatory/legislative changes.
These types of concerns can be seen in recent sexual harassment claims that rocked major entertainment networks and businesses. Viral social media trends escalated the incidents into a nationwide conversation. In addition to harming the public perception of those specific businesses, it also influenced updates to company policies and legislation for sexual harassment prevention across the country.
In order to protect your agency, it’s important to empower your employees with the resources and training they need to perform effectively and safely.
