As employers seek to manage escalating workers' compensation claims costs, Marsh will hold a one-hour Webcast on March 9 at 11 a.m. Eastern Time to explore the benefits of an integrated cost containment approach.

Marsh's Webcast, "Developing an Integrated Approach to Workers' Compensation Challenges," will feature a best practices discussion on incorporating diagnostics, safety management, proactive claims administration, and insurance placement into a seamless process. The important role analytics play in this process also will be discussed.

"For many companies, trying to control the total cost of their workers’ compensation program can seem a daunting task. By making the right decisions, beginning with the hiring process, moving on through the development and implementation of safety programs and procedures, and continuing with effective claim management, companies can take effective steps to minimize their overall cost," said Charlie Martin, National Claim Consulting Practice Leader for Marsh Risk Consulting.

In addition to Mr. Martin, Tracey Caffrey Ant, Primary Casualty Placement Leader, Marsh, and Joyce Long, Global Workforce Strategies Practice Leader, Marsh Risk Consulting, will participate on the panel.

Tim Mahoney, President of Marsh's Global Risk Management Division, will moderate the discussion.
