?? Do You Have Employees? Here’s Why Workers’ Comp Is a Must! If you have employees, you’re financially responsible for workplace injuries or illnesses. Without workers’ comp insurance, you could face paying out-of-pocket for medical bills, lost wages, or even legal fees if an employee gets hurt on the job. Workers’ comp not only protects your employees—it protects your business from costly claims and lawsuits. Plus, it’s a legal requirement in most states. Don’t leave your business exposed to unnecessary risks. ?? Call us at 316-869-1235 today to ensure you’re covered!

Do you need Employers Non-Owned Auto Liability? Probably. If you have employees, read on. Employers Non-Owned Auto Liability (ENOL) coverage protects your business when employees use their personal vehicles for work purposes. It’s not about insuring their car—it’s about safeguarding your business from liability if something happens. Here’s why you need it: ?? Coverage Gaps: Your employee’s personal auto insurance won’t protect your business if they’re involved in an accident while running errands for work. ?? Financial Protection: Lawsuits and claims resulting from an accident could cost your business big time. ENOL steps in to cover legal fees and damages. ?? Peace of Mind: Whether it’s a quick trip to the bank, delivering a product, or grabbing office supplies, you’ll know your business is protected. Who Needs It? If you ever send employees out on work-related errands in their vehicles—even occasionally—this policy is essential. Protect your business with the right coverage. Have questions or need help? Let’s chat! ?? 316-869-1235 ?? DM me anytime! #BusinessInsurance #LiabilityCoverage #ProtectYourBusiness #ShepherdInsuranceGroup

Why Employers Should Prioritize Preventing Repetitive Stress Injuries Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) might not grab headlines like other workplace injuries, but their impact can be huge—for employees and your business. RSIs, which often stem from repeated motions or poor ergonomic setups, can lead to lost productivity, costly treatments, and increased workers' compensation claims. Here’s why proactive prevention matters: ?? Cost Control: RSIs contribute to higher workers’ comp claims, which can significantly increase your insurance premiums. Taking steps to prevent them is a smart investment that keeps your rates in check. ?? Employee Well-being: Healthier, pain-free employees are more productive and motivated. Providing ergonomic workstations, regular breaks, and stretching routines shows you care and helps keep injuries at bay. ?? Compliance & Safety: Many safety standards now include guidelines for ergonomic health. Proactively addressing these keeps you compliant and enhances your safety culture. By focusing on RSI prevention, employers can foster a safer, more efficient workplace while keeping insurance costs in check. It’s a win-win for your team and your bottom line!

Today has been dubbed Patriot's Day and I saw this picture on someone else's page captioned with, "Where were you when the world stopped turning?" It had 80 plus responses as so many of us looked back. For me and many of my generation, this is a defining moment in our history. We remember in slow motion the details of that day. I lived in Chicago then. I remember how people fled downtown in droves, terrified that other skyscrapers were targets. I remember sobbing in front of the television. I remember understanding as the second plane hit, that we'd been attacked and the world was irrevocably changed. For a horrific moment in time, as Americans we stood united. We were united as we championed the heroism of our first responders, as we grieved the devastating losses of New Yorkers and those among them, those in the Pentagon, and the blessed souls on a field in Pennsylvania whose bravery likely saved thousands more. We were the UNITED States of America. There is so much discord right now. And yet, we are the UNITED States of America and today, on Patriot's Day, I remember, pray, and grieve those who were lost with you. There is more that unites us than divides us. We will never forget.... Where were you when the world stopped turning? #wewillneverforget

When I was brand new to the insurance industry, I was probably the worst rep that has ever lived and had zero clue what I was doing. The best help that I probably ever received from the man that would become my mentor was, "Show me what you are doing." I did and then he said, "Wow, your an idiot. Do it this way..." and then he SHOWED me how. I listened to his tried and true process and it made me who I am today as an insurance advisor. (Thanks, Al, I am eternally grateful!) What is the best professional advice you have ever gotten?

We are excited to be nominated again this year for Wichita's Best Insurance Company. If you love us here at Shepherd Insurance Group, we would really appreciate your vote. You can vote daily until Sept 6. https://lnkd.in/gt36tKVf

Today is the first day of school for my kiddos! As I watched kids pour into the parking lot, I thought it is a good time for a quick reminder to parents: it’s super important to remind your young drivers that getting good grades matters not just in the classroom, but also for your auto insurance! Most of the time, a B average or better can save hundreds of dollars off a family's auto premiums thanks to the Good Student Discount. College kids can get in on this too—they just usually need to take at least 12 credit hours.

Why Business Owners Should Buy Cyber Insurance in the AI Age While we’re not quite dealing with Skynet and Terminators just yet, it’s always better to be prepared. ?? In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated. With the advent of AI, these risks are further amplified, making cyber insurance more essential than ever. Here’s why business owners should consider investing in cyber insurance: Increased Cyber Threats: AI can be used by cybercriminals to launch more advanced and targeted attacks. Cyber insurance provides a safety net against financial losses resulting from data breaches, ransomware, and other cyber incidents. Data Protection: Businesses rely heavily on digital data, making the protection of sensitive information critical. Cyber insurance covers the costs of data recovery and notification expenses, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. Business Continuity: A cyber attack can disrupt operations, leading to significant downtime and loss of revenue. Cyber insurance helps cover the costs of business interruption, minimizing the financial impact on your company. Legal and Regulatory Compliance: In the event of a data breach, businesses may face legal actions and regulatory fines. Cyber insurance can help cover legal fees and fines, protecting your business from severe financial repercussions. Reputation Management: A cyber attack can damage your company's reputation and erode customer trust. Cyber insurance often includes coverage for public relations efforts to help rebuild your brand's image. In the AI age, cyber threats are not a matter of if, but when. Protect your business with cyber insurance to ensure your business and its productivity don't get Terminated. (See what I did there?! ?? )
