Presentation Description

A Primer on Saving Millions:
Lessons Learned from the Award-Winning Houston School District

It doesn’t take an exorbitant amount of money to minimize workers’ comp expenses and promote the health and safety of injured workers. Just ask anyone from the Houston Independent School District (HISD) — winner of the 2007 Risk and Insurance® Magazine Theodore Roosevelt Award. HISD saved more than $14 million in the last five years. Now it’s turning its attention to other benefit lines. Learn how the HISD conducted a physical demands analysis and developed a team of experts with limited resources — and see how you can apply the same strategies to your organization.
