Work First Casualty Company, established in 2005, has its roots tracing back to 1985 when it began as a small staffing firm in Oregon. Originally, the company faced a daunting challenge with exorbitant workers' compensation insurance rates driven by employee injuries. To combat this, it implemented a unique and effective loss prevention program aimed at reducing both the frequency and severity of injuries. This initiative proved successful, allowing the small staffing company to grow exponentially, expanding to 130 offices across 25 states and one Canadian province, with nearly $400 million in annual sales.
Recognizing a gap in the market for effective risk management solutions in the staffing industry, Work First transitioned to an insurance provider specifically focused on meeting the needs of temporary staffing companies. Since then, it has adapted its insurance model to also serve large employers and the healthcare industry, providing not only insurance coverage but also significant loss prevention services.
Work First Casualty prides itself on its commitment to fostering safe work environments through innovative solutions that improve operational efficiency for its clients. The company offers tailored underwriting, robust loss prevention consulting, and responsive claims management to ensure favorable outcomes for their insured clients.
With a licensed operation in all 50 states and a focus on integrity, collaboration, and smart risk-taking, Work First aims to reduce costs associated with workers' compensation. Their approach has reportedly led to average reductions of over 30% in experience modifiers for clients, positioning them as a leader in the workers' compensation insurance arena. Essential to their mission is the belief that work is integral to a successful life, driving them to utilize their expertise to support employment and safety in the workplace.
