✅ True or false? 🚫

by Matthew Davis MBA, CPCU, AAI | Insurance

Disregarding safety and compliance regulations has a very small effect on how your employees act their job.

That statement couldn’t be more false!

In reality, everyone in the workforce takes rules and regulations more seriously in their jobs when they work in an environment where they’re encouraged.

There is a statistical link between your team’s involvement in safety culture and the amount of hazards that occur on job sites.

Basically, if you involve your team in a more safety conscious culture, then they will pay more attention to safety on the job.

For you, that means you’ll be less liable, and your company’s insurance premiums will be lower as a result.

For them, that means that they can go home to their families without injury or worry.

It just goes to show, when you promote safety in the workplace, then you’re going to get safety in return.

How does a happier and healthier staff lower your company’s insurance rates?

by Matthew Davis MBA, CPCU, AAI | Insurance

One of the biggest questions that insurance brokers are asked is how companies can get the lowest rates possible.

And before you ask, we’re no exception.

However, the truth of the matter is that simply paying the lowest cost for your coverage isn’t the best way to get lower rates overtime, and may actually result in you becoming more liable for incidents within your company.

Ultimately, that means your rates will only go up and you’ll be left asking the same question over and over again. Part of the process of lowering your overall rates can be time consuming and requires investment into your team, but it will result in lower rates for your company.

It’s been made clear time and again that if you invest into a happy and healthy team of employees that your team will want to give back to your company which will result in the lower rates you’re looking for.

So if you’re looking for lower rates, you need to ask yourself if you have the following:

✅ A human resources department to ensure your team is treated fairly and have plenty of opportunity to advance in the company

✅ Employee benefits to protect your team’s health and help them invest in their own futures through 401k and other systems

✅ OSHA compliance trainings and worker’s compensation plans to keep your team safe and ensure their proper recovery when they’re injured

By investing in programs that benefit your team you’ll be ensuring lower rates in the long run, which is something that we at GDI want for you too.

At GDI, we want to see every client that contacts us be able to thrive, and that means helping you and your company get the lowest rates you possibly can. We want to give you the advice and assistance you need to see your costs go down every single year.

That’s why we take the time to educate our clients about their current rates, why their rates are high or low, and what they can do to lower them.

We’ll work with you business to get you on track to lower rates and build a better business by following the steps.

You want to see your revenue at its best, and GDI wants to get you there.

Keep Your Company Safe from Liability & Theft

by Matthew Davis MBA, CPCU, AAI | Insurance

What kind of operations should you have in place to ensure you get lower rates?

It’s true that ensuring your employee’s health and safety will lower your rates overtime, but having certain internal operations in place will have the same effect.

But what kind of operations should you have in place that keep your company safe from liability and theft?

It’s time to start asking yourself if you have: 

➡️ Liability insurance policies in place to ensure that your company is only responsible for its own operations and employees?

➡️ Cameras, GPS trackers, and other equipment in place if you have tools or other material that is liable to be stolen?

➡️ Sprinklers and alarm systems with your storage facilities and your offices to keep your building safe and adhere to the law?

Keeping your business and equipment safe from liability and theft will relieve your company of that very same liability. 

The less your company is liable for theft and the injuries/mispractice of others, that means fewer claims on your company which will result in lower rates.

What kind of resources do you have in place to protect your equipment and work spaces?
