Workers’ comp insurance is vital to businesses and employees. Unfortunately, business owners only think about workers’ comp when they have a claim. While workers’ compensation insurance in Ohio is provided through the state, as an OIA member you can offer your clients access to the largest and strongest workers’ compensation group rating program in the state. You have exclusive access to a program that encourages a safe work environment, reduces premium costs for your clients and allows you to earn some revenue through the program.

With OIA’s workers’ compensation group rating program, your commercial clients receive:

• Superior customer service.
• Discounts on workers’ comp premiums with access to multiple savings tiers.
• Diverse benefits that can reduce premiums, such as retro and safety services.

You can reach out to your commercial clients with our easy-to-use marketing resources:

• Sample letter to current clients (.doc)
• Sample letter to prospective clients (.doc)
• Sample letter for new agencies marketing the program
• Customizable one-page FAQ (just click inside the light blue box toward the bottom and type in your agency information)
