Succeed Management Solutions’ Risk Management Center Assists Washington Employers in Reducing Claims

Seattle, WA, June 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Washington Employers, the leading non-profit human resource management firm in Washington, has been assisting members since 1936 in managing all matters affecting the employer-employee relationship. They provide members with comprehensive human resource advice and counsel, with an emphasis on preventive (rather than reactive) risk management and accident prevention. Washington Employers’ Group Retrospective Rating Program thus allows member organizations to pool resources together to lower their workers’ compensation premiums and achieve substantial refunds.

Washington Employers has recently announced that two of the programs they administer, manufacturing and construction, received the greatest Retrospective refunds of any competing program in the state. Washington Employers’ attributes the successful results to their attention and dedication to accident prevention, in which Succeed’s Risk Management Center (RMC) plays a key role. The Retro group members have access to the RMC as a value-added benefit through Washington Employers, and use the RMC in managing workplace incidents, near misses, and all claim types. The RMC allows the Retro groups to track and trend any losses, allowing the Washington Employers consultative staff to focus on key loss sources to make employers’ workplaces safer by using the proactive solutions offered through the RMC. Succeed Management Solutions has demonstrated that using the RMC reduces incident frequency (their clients have been able to reduce frequency rates by approximately 85%), and their Retrospective Rating clients have seen a reduction in workers’ compensation claims.

"I can’t imagine not having Succeed Management Solutions as a strategic partner. Succeed’s professional staff and outstanding suite of tools enables my team to operate at a much higher level. The companies that we represent are just becoming safer places to work. We were great before, now the sky’s the limit…" says Arthur Dalessandro, Director of Workers Compensation Services at Washington Employers.
