This video will share the questions to ask both people in the process, and reveal a question you should NEVER ask a decisionmaker!​

This 5-minute learning clinic will introduce the basics of creating your own workflow program to eliminate backlog in 30 days!​

Employment Practice Liability Insurance

 

We specialize in Employment Practice Liability Insurance (EPLI) for all private corporations and non-profit organizations. The harsh reality is that businesses & non-profits are sued by their employees and volunteers every day. Did you know:

​

  • An employer is nearly three times more likely to be sued by an employee than experience a fire.

  • Most lawsuits settle out of court, but when they go to trial employees win 70% of the time.

  • The average EPL claim is $70K for defense and compensation, which is 26% higher than 3 years ago.

  • Your customers, clients, and job applicants can sue you for sexual harassment or discrimination, making 3rd party coverage very important to have on this policy.

  • Small companies account for roughly 40% of all employee lawsuits & administrative charges.
