CNA’s Motion is Money Program Helps Insureds Minimize Claims

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Risk Control unit of CNA insurance companies recently implemented a program that helps construction and manufacturing companies maximize productivity while eliminating unnecessary physical activities and movements of employees. Through the Motion is Money program, participating companies can focus on observation techniques to measure job site activities – such as walking, bending, lifting, the storage of construction materials – and the time requirements of completing such tasks. By implementing these practices, CNA insureds have noticed a decrease in the number of work-related injuries.

“Our Motion is Money program helps customers keep their employees safe and increase productivity,” said Bill Boyd, senior vice president – Risk Control, CNA. “For instance, one construction industry leader was able to cut workplace injuries in half while significantly increasing its number of employees and (their) hours worked; thus, preventing more than 3,000 injuries over several years.”

CNA Risk Control offers a wide range of services focusing on management accountability, cost drivers and developing business solutions to help customers improve their bottom-line profit.
