The Problem
A world-leading private owner and operator of football clubs needed help creating a risk management insurance program to best protect their balance sheet. They had aggressive goals and their previous CCIP solution was not meeting these ideals.
The NFP Solution
We worked with the client to position an OCIP that would give the client significant cash-flow benefits over the CCIP and would allow them to retain OCIP savings if losses were less than predicted. The team also offered an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) program. ADR programs allow sponsors of union labor projects to opt out of the standard workers' compensation programs and utilize an alternative approach that employs additional standards of care, specific protocols for the treatment of injured employees, enhanced benefits and a rigorous appeals process in the event of any complaints.
Protect your sports and entertainment business with tailored benefits and risk management.
