“After conducting a thorough review of ELS’s operations, we believe their approach to client selection/evaluation, their commitment to safety engineering and loss control, and their focus on best practices, claims handling and return to work programs mirrors GUARD’s approach to workers’ compensation management,” Shoval said. “Our similar approaches to workers’ compensation make this an ideal match for us, and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with ELS,” she said.
“We cannot think of a better partner for our workers’ compensation program than GUARD Insurance Group,” said Bill Mullis, principal shareholder of Employee Leasing Solutions. “This represents a significant step forward in our overall business plans and will only further strengthen our workers’ compensation program,” Mullis said.
GUARD’s intention is to establish a workers’ compensation program to cover employees of ELS effective January 1, 2007.
GUARD Insurance Group of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest mono-line workers’ compensation insurers in the country and is rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best. It has a financial size category of “VIII.”
