Workers'Compensation Claims management

Many factors influence and impact the outcome of a Workers’ compensation claim, which can be a time of discomfort and uncertainty for the employee, and requires additional time, effort and expense for the employer and coworkers. Easing the transition back to normalcy occurs when all parties are given a clear understanding of the process and know what to expect. ESM's team provides you with expert advice focused on helping you make the most ethical, financial and legal decision when managing your claims.  

Safety management

Effective safety programs are the result of management leadership and the application of proven management principles throughout the organization. Risk must be identified and evaluated, appropriate controls must be chosen and implemented, and the entire process must be monitored and continuously improved. ESM's safety professionals are experts in safety program management and will bring your program a new vision that will lead to safety excellence while reducing risk and cost.

Self Insured Employers

TPA audits can be suited to your specific needs. Whether you are accruing to fund older claims or ensuring proper internal TPA practices that reflect your contract agreement, an audit provides peace of mind that your TPA has your best interest in mind.  Each claim is analyzed and checked for financial and payment accuracy, compliance with Workers’ Compensation regulations and appropriate claims management including regular, result driven diaries and appropriate supervision and oversight.
