Annual National Workers' Compensation and Disability Conference & Exhibition 2012

Economic realities have forced many high-level executives to take on workers’ comp responsibilities for their organizations. CFOs, general counsels, and risk professionals with purchasing authority are suddenly tasked with overseeing a system they may understand only peripherally. This half-day program is designed to provide these high-level professionals a core understanding of workers’ compensation and the tools needed to design, price and manage a successful workers’ compensation program. Among the topics covered by our faculty of leading workers’ compensation experts will be:

• Workers’ compensation’s origins, current status and challenges.
• Pre-loss programs and how to build them.
• How to price a program, including the impact of losses on experience modifications.
• Medical components of an effective workers’ compensation program.
• Claims management and vendor management tips.
• Management information sharing — what to share with whom, when and how.
• The challenges of litigation.
