❓ Is Your Workers' Comp Strategy Truly Working for You ❓ Restaurant owners often face hidden risks with traditional commercial insurance. In our latest podcast, Scott W. Gaffner, CRM,CIC, #CRMBC’s Chief Underwriting Officer, shares why self-insured groups offer a smarter, more tailored approach to managing workers' comp. 💡 The Flexibility of Self-Insurance: “We underwrite to the current situation,” Scott explains. Unlike traditional insurers, CRMBC evaluates operations in real time rather than relying solely on historical data like the X-mod. This gives restaurant owners more control over their claims and reduces unnecessary penalties. ⚠ The Danger of Low Premiums: Don't be fooled by commercial insurers offering low upfront rates. "If we feel like we're just writing a check and not responsible for anything, we could get lost in that cycle… and now the effect is going to come up and bite me." 📺 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gmeXMeVv 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gfezSmXx #SelfInsurance #RestaurantOwners #WorkersComp #RiskManagement #InsuranceInsights #CRMBC
