Issue: 2007-04-09 Online Store Provides WC Cost-Control SolutionsMANSFIELD, Conn., April 9 – Rebecca Shafer, an attorney and risk consultant, and former CEO of Aons workers compensation consulting unit, has created a series of online tools designed to help small and medium-sized employers cut workers compensation costs. The tools are for sale online at www.workerscompkit.com. One product available, according to Shafer, is the WC Target Score, which, she said, lets employers quickly learn if theyre doing all they can to control costs. The score rates the number of best practices a company has from 0-100 and indicates how much room there is for improvement. For companies with multiple business units, Shafer said, the Best Practice Profile ranks business units according to best practice use so the risk manager can easily monitor their progress.Similarly, Shafer added, brokers and agents can rank their clients and then tailor services for those that need improvement. Other offerings, Shafer noted, include Recommendations for Improvement, Return to Work Ratio, Cost Reduction Modules & Tools, Transitional Duty Cost Calculator, Benchmarking Report, Submit-A-Claim, and Workers Comp Boot Camp. A small employer can buy a single product for around $49, Shafer said, and employers can buy the entire kit from $1,900 to $42,000, depending on the number of employees.
