Embracing and developing an integral safety culture can greatly reduce the incident rate and severity of accidents in the workplace, while increasing employee morale and productivity. In workplaces with a strong safety culture, everyone feels responsible for safety and goes beyond the “call of duty” to identify unsafe conditions and behaviors — and to intervene to correct them.
You can have an effective safety culture when an organization's top leadership actively supports the safety program. We help uncover and understand your risk exposures, while working with you to determine the most effective means of eliminating or reducing those risks.
A safer workplace can also bring you into compliance with OSHA’s requirements and increase the likelihood of a penalty-free audit. OSHA has been increasing the number of inspections, as well as the size of the fines they assess. We’ll help you make sure your prepared for an audit and pass inspection.
Our safety specialists have degrees in safety management, risk control and engineering, with real-world industry experience. They have worked with hundreds of employers across all industries to build the critical intellectual capital necessary to answer your questions, and provide solutions that actually work. Through in-person interactions or our safety hotline, our team is ready to help you:
The IRS recently released final 2020 Forms 1094-C and 1095-C and applicable instructions ahead of Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting for 2020. As a reminder, applicable large employers (“ALEs”) must furnish Form 1095-C to full-time employees and file Form 1094-C and all 1095-Cs with the IRS. ALEs offering a self-insured group health plan must also furnish Forms 1095-C to covered employees or other primary insured individuals in the self-funded health plan (e.g., COBRA qualified beneficiaries). Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and challenges to business operations, ALEs may have variations to their reporting for 2020 due to furloughs and/or layoffs.
No one understands better than the person who administers benefits about the difficulty of open enrollment season. It was hard enough ambushing employees in the workplace to remind them that they need to submit their packets. Let’s not even talk about the headache of creating multiple schedules so that employees can take physical breaks from work and listen to benefits presentations. Now, administrators must figure out the best way to get the packet to the eligible employees in the first place.
