Learn what you need to know in this challenging workers' compensation market by attending this crucial workshop: "The ABCs of Experience Rating: What Every Rhode Island Employer Needs to Know About the Cost of Workers' Comp. Insurance."
Sponsored by Renaissance Group, the Rhode Island Builders Association's workers' compensation partner, this class will offer an informative and entertaining overview of the experience rating process:
* Classifications and rates: what your people do and what it costs,
* How, when and for how long losses impact your premiums,
* A strategic approach to managing your experience modification,
* Decoding experience mod. rating sheets,
* When to secure a loss run,
* Understanding loss runs, and
* How "modified duty" lowers your experience mod.
The instructor will be Jonathan Coppelman, senior vice president of Lynch Ryan & Associates, a management consulting firm specializing in risk and human resource management for insurers and employers.
"It's important for anyone who pays for workers' compensation coverage to attend this class. They can be sure it will be informative, entertaining and by no means dreary!" Coppelman told The Rhode Island Builder Report.
"Workers' compensation is very loss-sensitive. This class will be a chance to learn how it all works, to break open that mysterious 'black box' and learn how interpret your own workers' compensation numbers."
Coppelman stressed that the session will be informal and that there will be plenty of time for questions.
Since 1990, Coppelman has trained over 4,000 employers across the country, ranging from The Fortune 500 to "Main Street" businesses, in the fundamentals of workers' compensation and disability management.
Known for his user-friendly materials and his highly entertaining presentations, Coppelman has educated and motivated companies of all sizes to take control of complex risk issues.
He is a featured writer for the Workers Comp Insider (www.workerscompinsider.com), the nation's first corporate weblog dedicated to risk management issues. The blog is read by thousands of readers every month.
