Villanova University has long been a great place to work — an institution that cares for its employees as well as its students. In recent years, Villanova's Insurance and Risk Management, Environmental Health & Safety, and Human Resources teams partnered with PMA to do even more to safeguard employees. Year over year, they jointly implemented a risk control service plan, which targeted leading loss drivers, reoriented the safety committee, enhanced employee training, and spawned a culture of safety that now permeates the entire campus.


Partnership Results

  • 53% reduction in slip/fall frequency (loss leader) & 38% reduction in total non-$0 claim frequency rate*
  • Over $3 million in medical bill savings
  • 92% average PPN utilization rate
  • Launched orientation and annual training for slip/fall & strain prevention in loss-driver departments
  • Formalized existing Return-to-Work Program and expanded it to include all loss-driver departments
