PATH is dedicated to helping employers and employees achieve the utmost success through workers’ compensation. PATH is an acronym for is founding values, Performance, Accountability, Transparency, and Honor.

Performance

Over the past decade, we have consistently demonstrated proven results for our clients. This is based on our approach of deeply understanding individual and employer challenges, building relationships of trust, and executing effective solutions.

Accountability

We take responsibility for the success of our clients, meaning we don’t stop working on their behalf until they are satisfied with the results. This requires that we maintain close relationships with our clients, open lines of communication, and a great degree of flexibility.

Transparency

We build our client relationships as partnerships where transparency is paramount. We aim to expose the hidden realities of the industries in which we operate, giving clients a behind the scenes look into the problematic and inefficient practices that keep them from success.

Honor

In everything we do, we strive to maintain the highest sense of integrity. This means doing things the right way and delivering service as promised. We never stop short of meeting our clients’ expectations, and take no shortcuts in helping them achieve their desired results.

PATH brings together a wealth of expertise in self-insurance, dedicated to providing innovative risk management solutions tailored to our clients’ unique needs.
