Understanding the Staffing Industry’s Challenges
Employer of Record (EOR):
What It Means: The EOR is responsible for managing workers' compensation claims and associated costs for employees, even when they work at a client site. For staffing firms, this means they bear the liability for any incidents, regardless of how unsafe the client’s worksite may be.
How SafetyEHD Helps: By using AI Guided Safety, SafetyEHD empowers staffing firms to objectively assess client worksites during evaluations. With real-time AI analysis and risk insights, branch managers can make data-driven decisions about whether to accept a client, mitigating liability from unsafe sites.
Experience Modifier (eMod):
What It Means: This is the key variable determining workers' compensation insurance premiums. It’s calculated based on a company’s claims history and total hours worked over three years. A high eMod leads to exponential insurance cost increases, threatening profitability for staffing firms with razor-thin margins (2-6%).
How SafetyEHD Helps: AI Guided Safety identifies risks before they result in injuries, helping firms proactively manage safety, reduce incidents, and control eMod escalation. By addressing risks early, firms can protect their bottom line.
Incident Documentation:
What It Means: Staffing firms must document training and safety practices to defend against workers’ compensation claims. Poor documentation often leads to settlements that inflate liability costs.
How SafetyEHD Helps: AI automates the creation of accurate, role-specific safety documentation, providing tangible evidence of due diligence. This strengthens a firm’s legal defense and reduces costly settlements.
The Challenges Staffing Firms Face
Fragmented Safety Evaluations:
The Problem: Branch managers and recruiters often lack the expertise to assess job site safety effectively, leading to subjective and inconsistent decisions.
AI Guided Safety Solution: SafetyEHD uses photo analysis and natural language queries to provide objective risk assessments, helping firms identify unsafe worksites quickly and accurately.
Dynamic Training Needs:
The Problem: Staffing firms serve diverse clients with rapidly changing job requirements, making it difficult to deliver tailored safety training at scale.
AI Guided Safety Solution: With SafetyEHD, branch managers can instantly generate customized toolbox talks and training materials tailored to specific job sites or equipment. AI ensures training is always relevant, reducing incidents from lack of preparation.
Defensibility Against Claims:
The Problem: A lack of documented safety efforts makes it hard for staffing firms to defend against workers' compensation claims, often resulting in costly settlements.
AI Guided Safety Solution: SafetyEHD creates comprehensive records of safety training and worksite evaluations, giving firms robust documentation to reduce liability in claim disputes.
