Risk Control Seminar (TCOR)

How Integrating Proactive Healthcare Affects Your Operations, HR & Profits

Managing the Risks of Your Employees

During our first session, we'll address your hiring practices and how hiring the right (or wrong!) employee can affect your HR practices, profits, and risk management strategy. Our HR professional and Work Comp Advisor will discuss Return to Work programs and HR Compliance issues.

WorkSteps Testing and Rehabilitation

Learn how an accurate job analysis and job specific testing can protect your employees from injury and protect you from paying for pre-existing injuries. Follow the path of an employee from the hiring phase, through the rehabilitation process and return to work.

Proactive Healthcare/Employer Relationship

Want a doctor on your side? Establishing a proactive relationship with a healthcare provider can make all the difference in your hiring and rehabilitation processes. Developing trust with and between your staff and your doctor takes away the uncertainty of who your provider works for.
