When Workers Compensation claims are on the rise in an organization, employers typically jump to examine their safety culture, hiring practices and return-to-work programs. While all those elements are critical to managing workers compensation claims, the impact of social trends is often overlooked and may be the x-factor you’ve never considered.

At The Graham Company, we recognize that we’ve entered a new era of Workers Compensation claims where societal trends threaten more risk than ever before. As your trusted advisor, we want to ensure you understand how to identify these trends, and more importantly, a strategy to prevent them from becoming claims.

A New Era of Workers Compensation Claims? The Potential Impact of Social Trends will be a half-day seminar held in The Graham Company’s Center City office. You will learn about the use and abuse of prescription drugs and their rising costs; utilizing data analytics and predictive modeling to improve claims outcomes; legal trends, including increased employer testimony, progressive discipline and social media; and the interplay of employment practices with these topics.

This informative seminar will include four individual presentations from distinguished experts:

• Jean Paltzer, Vice President, National Account Management, PMSI
• Tracy A. Ryan, EVP & Chief Products Officer, Liberty Mutual Insurance Commercial Insurance
• Michele Punturi, Esq., Shareholder,  Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin
• Tom Servodidio, Esq., Partner, Duane Morris LLP

This workshop will put theory to practice as we examine real life claims examples. Breakfast and lunch will also be provided.
