Session I: Loss Prevention
Thursday, October 25th - 2:00pm EST

Are you willing to gamble with your business assets? Your company itself? Risks are inherent in every sector of the staffing industry, and if you're not taking steps in your day-to-day operations to protect your assets, you could be putting your business in grave danger.

The old adage rings true - the best way to solve any problem is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Join this session, and our panel will:

  • Help you understand and identify exposures, risks and threats to your staffing business
  • Examine the key strategies for avoiding or minimizing the greatest risks
  • Explore ways to keep your staff focused on effective candidate screening for claim and loss prevention
  • Review methods for developing and structuring client relationships for reduced risk
  • Discuss tactics for negotiating contractual indemnification and risk transfer without jeopardizing client relationships

Session II: Insurance Protection
Thursday, November 15th - 2:00pm EST

Professional and "staffing services" liability, errors and omissions, workers' compensation, non-owned auto and employee dishonesty. How do you determine what coverage you need and what policy limits are adequate? How do you know if you're paying too much? Will your current policies accommodate your company's growth? Is your head spinning yet?

Join this session for a look at what staffing business owners need to know to find and secure the right insurance protection for their independent staffing companies. We'll:

  • Help you understand the greatest risks to a staffing business and discuss strategies for protecting your business against them
  • Examine the types of insurances needed to protect a staffing business, what is covered by each policy type and where to find the right policies for a staffing business
  • Explore the "holes" in insurance policy language and structure that can leave you exposed to liabilities you thought were covered, and how to position your program ahead of the competition

Session III: Loss Control
Thursday, December 6th - 2:00pm EST

It may sound strange, but we hope you will never have to use some of the information you'll learn in this session.

Insurance claims are certainly difficult to deal with, but if you're hit with one, you need to be well equipped to handle it and control loss effectively. Join this session as our panel helps you:
  • Understand the right ways to interact with administrators, claims adjusters, medical providers, and other parties in the event of a claim
  • Learn best practices for reducing long term indemnity costs, including proper claims management and coordination, a solid Return to Work program, and early identification of problem cases
  • Explore strategies to help your staff understand loss control, realize how crucial it is, and thrive in a culture where consistent documentation and proactive management is the norm.
