NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- QBE North America is honored to have earned Insurance Business America's 5-Star Excellence Award for Workers' Compensation.
To determine 5-Star status, IBA surveyed thousands of brokers and program partners within its network. Throughout the 15-week research process, carriers were measured on the strength of their relationships with brokers and partners, ability to handle claims, underwriting expertise, loss control, and the strength of the individual products they provide.
"It's exciting to see our strong partnerships and focus on worker safety recognized," said Kris Hill, President of Alternative Markets at QBE North America. "Through our trusted relationships with our partners and our technology innovation, we work hard to offer meaningful Program solutions across a variety of niche markets. In Workers' Compensation, we recently leveraged AI technology via a mobile app to analyze videos of worker activities, such as stocking shelves, to identify and address stress points that could lead to injury. This solution is good for the customer and good for business."
Tom Fitzgerald, President of Specialty & Commercial at QBE North America, added, "The COVID-19 pandemic has brought renewed attention to worker health and safety, and we have been working very closely with our customers and broker partners to help them manage the evolving risk. These efforts could include providing guidance on reducing risks associated with new working arrangements, quickly reassessing coverage needs based on the fluctuating size of the workforce, and taking advantage of the latest technological advancements."
QBE North America writes Workers' Compensation both through its Alternative Markets business with its Program Administrator partners, and through its Specialty & Commercial business with its limited and preferred broker network.
