Each recordable incident carries $25,000 in direct costs. A 2-point improvement in your TRIR eliminates $50,000 in annual exposure before factoring in the insurance savings from a lower experience mod.
Undocumented terminations, I-9 errors, and misclassified workers create $100,000+ in combined legal exposure for a 50-person company. Most of it is eliminated with the right policies and a paper trail that holds up.
70% of construction turnover happens in the first 90 days. A structured onboarding program cuts that number in half turning a $6,000–$8,000 per-hire cost into a one-time investment instead of a recurring one.
A 0.15 drop in your experience mod rate saves $36,000 in annual premiums. Add claim management and a light-duty program and most companies reduce workers comp costs by 25–30% within 12 months.
I built my career in HR because I saw a gap most companies ignore the disconnect between operations, people, and risk. For 12+ years I've worked inside fast-moving, high-pressure environments where leadership teams are trying to scale, protect the business, and keep operations moving at the same time.
The last five years have been focused specifically on construction and trades: building material suppliers, residential contractors, electrical companies, and surface fabrication businesses.
My approach isn't to be the compliance cop. It's to build People Operations that reduce risk while helping operations succeed systems that work in the real world, not just on paper.
Results aren't theoretical here. They show up in reduced claims, cleaner documentation, better retention, and fewer surprises.
Across employment liability, compliance gaps, and workers comp exposure identified and resolved through documentation, policy, and proactive HR structure.
Built inside field-based, high-turnover environments where HR problems show up on job sites, not in conference rooms. The industry context is already there.
