"Each year we look for opportunities to strengthen our SORCE programs to provide even greater value for our producers and joint clients," said William Boyd, Senior Vice President, Risk Control. "This year we've expanded the range of courses geared toward our agents and brokers, recognizing that agents who better understand the risks their clients face will also have a better understanding of how to offer the right coverage and service excellence."
Designed with both producers and clients in mind, the 2014 SORCE® catalog features enhanced agent and broker courses as well as a renewed emphasis on CNA's customer segments – including construction, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, small business and technology – and risks that may have an economic impact.
In addition to new industry specific topics, added comprehensive courses for 2014 include:
- Social Media Risks
- Exposures and Controls for Office Ergonomics
- Lean and Safety: Building a Safety Culture
"With these courses, in addition to our comprehensive offering for clients, we strive to provide the educational resources necessary to stay on top of today's ever-changing risk environment," added Boyd.
