ChubbWorks Demo - A Loss Prevention Tool for IBAT Members

Printer-friendly Version
Expanding employment practices legislation and an increasingly litigious society means that lawsuits over employment matters pose a heightened danger to employers. 

It is nearly impossible to completely eliminate the threat of an employment practices liability (EPL) lawsuit, yet employers can proactively apply loss prevention strategies which will serve as a strong defense, should a lawsuit occur.   Chubb believes they have an obligation to help reduce the likelihood of EPL complaints against their insured banks and to help them effectively defend against EPL charges should they arise. 

Banks who have their Employment Practices Liability coverage through Chubb may access a free on-line resource known as ChubbWorkssm.  This tool is a critical component of Chubb’s Employment Practices Liability Loss Prevention Program.

ChubbWorkssm  offers convenient access to EPL loss prevention tools, such as:

• Model employment policies, procedures and forms, which can be reviewed, downloaded or printed for immediate use, covering the major EPL risks faced by employers.
• “My Workplace,” a section for employers to store important workplace information, such as an on-line handbook, “suggestion box” for site improvements, a notices board and a directory of users.
• Employment practices self-audit checklists for human resource professionals, executive management and supervisors.
• On-line training for managers and supervisors on sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination, as well as ongoing refresher training via on-line bulletins.
• An on-line library offering links to government informational resources, as well as access to the following publications:

• Case Points – A journal on case law that affects the workplace
• The Loss Prevention Journal for Human Resources
• The Loss Prevention Journal for Managers and Supervisors
• Work Smarter, Live Better – A periodic journal for all employees on wellness, health, safety, time management and self-improvement
• Leadership² - A journal for managers promoting character-driven leadership and the value of setting a positive personal example.
• News to Use – A journal presenting news events that affect the workplace.
