How Human Resources, Inc. can save you time and money

In today’s business environment, workers’ compensation is fast becoming one of the largest contributors to labor expense. The premiums for this coverage have gone up significantly in just the past few years alone. Due to claims having a longer duration than anticipated, some companies are faced with 25%-40% upsurge in costs, despite low occurrence of accidents in the workplace. This can often have a detrimental effect on your company’s bottom line, not only in medical and claim costs, but also in lost productivity from being short staffed.
