With access to the full range of products available from the member companies of AIG, AIGRM is able to serve temporary staffing firms of all sizes and provide insurance and risk management solutions tailor-made to fit their specific risk profile.

Further, the professionals at AIGRM work together with temporary staffing clients to establish loss control and safety programs aimed at improving interview and background check processes, screening clients, and developing training programs that assist employees in recognizing and avoiding workplace hazards. As a result, insureds can mitigate losses, control workers’ comp costs and remain competitive in attracting and retaining quality employees and clients.

AIGRM’s claims experts offer: expertise in financial investigations to identify fraudulent claims; training for clients’ risk managers to help them recognize common fraud indicators; on-site visits where losses occur; implementation of medical cost containment policies and; assistance with setting up and funding return-to-work programs.
