2012 - the 'year of action'?

 

The sun may be shining and there are plenty of people taking advantage of the beaches as they enjoy their holidays. However, the team at Wellnz Ltd is looking forward to a year of real activity for 2012. We have been planning for the opening of ACC to competition for several years, and this is the year it is actually going to happen.

 

The Government has given the green light to broadening the entry crtieria for the ACC Partnership Programme ( hopefully from 1 April), and opening ACC to competiton (likely to be from 1 October), so the work environment changes dramatically this year.

   

It is not too soon for employers to be assessing how this will impact on their businesses. Wellnz Ltd has developed an assessment criteria which can be applied to business, and gives a good indication of how they will fare under the new environment. Of course, the 'devil' is in the detail which has yet to be announced by the Government but Wellnz Ltd worked through the last competitive environment in 1999-2000, so we understand how the market changes, and the gains available to employers. We can complete a financial assessment, and give good advice on taking advantage of the competitive environment.

 

So employers can look forward to a much better 2012. There is plenty to be positive about, and there will be many continuing opportunities for us to deliver value to our clients through our early return to work initiatives.

 

Call us for a 'no obligation' discussion and assessment for your work injury programmes, and the financial impact which competition may have to this market.
