Controlling workers’ compensation costs is essential for every business, as it will affect your net profits each year.
Here are six proven tips to help reduce your premiums:
- Promote Safety: A strong workplace safety program can prevent injuries and reduce claims.
- Conduct Regular Training: Train employees on safe practices and update them regularly.
- Hire Smart: Screen applicants carefully to ensure they’re physically capable and qualified for the job.
- Manage Claims Effectively: Respond quickly to incidents, and maintain communication with injured employees to support recovery and return-to-work efforts.
- Audit Classifications: Ensure your employees are properly classified—misclassifications can result in overpayment.
