Chubb to Offer Online Tools for Employers

The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies will offer companies and not-for-profit organizations a free 60-day trial of online tools that help manage rising employment practices liability exposures.

"Wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and other complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have increased by double digits since 2006," said Cathy Padalino, vice president, Chubb & Son, and employment practices liability product manager for Chubb Specialty Insurance. "Our online loss prevention tools, when used in conjunction with liability insurance, offer organizations an effective way to manage their risk and help create a strong defense against employment-related liability lawsuits."

Available through the ChubbWorks(SM) Web site, the loss prevention tools include model employment policies; procedures and forms; best practices training modules addressing sexual harassment, discrimination, investigations, termination, and creating an ethical workplace; checklists; and articles.

ChubbWorks also includes two industry-specific zones that address the employment practices, directors and officers and fiduciary liability exposures of health care and not-for-profit organizations.

To sign up for the 60-day free trial, contact a local Chubb independent agent.
