Tom Doyle of Point Man Safety will discuss how building a strong safety culture goes beyond compliance- it’s about protecting your most valuable asset: your people. Learn how proactive safety programs, leadership engagement, and daily best practices can help reduce workplace incidents, improve morale, lower risk exposure, and positively impact workers’ compensation and insurance costs.
Greg Coyne of Patriot Growth Insurance will provide insight into today’s challenging insurance renewal environment and the rising cost of healthcare benefits, one of the largest expenses employers face after payroll. Greg will highlight options available for businesses of all sizes, including alternative funding strategies, ICHRA options, and ways employers can make more informed decisions when selecting insurance solutions.
Together, Tom and Greg will explore how proactive risk management, from workplace safety to employee benefits, helps manufacturers protect their teams, control costs, and build stronger, more resilient businesses.Date and Time
