The PATH Alliance Completes Strategic Consulting Project for Lawrence Livermore National Security LLC

Feasibility Study Supports LLNS Decision on Workers’ Compensation Self-Insurance

FRESNO, Calif., Jan. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – The PATH Alliance, a recognized leader in self-insurance and workers’ compensation, has successfully completed a year-long project for Lawrence Livermore National Security LLC (LLNS). The project included a detailed feasibility study and a comparative evaluation of transitioning to a self-insured workers’ compensation model.

“At PATH, we believe that effective risk management begins with a deep understanding of our clients’ unique needs and goals,” said Jerry Laval, President of The PATH Alliance. “This project with LLNS allowed us to apply our expertise to provide them with a comprehensive analysis, ensuring they are equipped to make a strategic decision that supports both their financial objectives and the well-being of their workforce.”

Working closely with LLNS, The PATH Alliance analyzed existing workers’ compensation strategies and compared them to alternative risk management approaches. The study provided actionable insights into the financial and operational implications of self-insuring versus continuing with traditional insurance, including cost-benefit analysis, risk management strategies, long-term savings projections, industry benchmarks and a regulatory compliance plan.

The findings empowered LLNS leadership with the data needed to make a fully informed decision about the future of their workers’ compensation program.

“We are proud to partner with LLNS on this important project,” said Jon Wroten, Senior Vice President of The PATH Alliance. “Our work will help LLNS make strategic, risk-intelligent decisions to optimize risk management and employee well-being.”

This successful project further reinforces The PATH Alliance’s position as a trusted advisor for complex risk management and business decisions in the areas of self-insurance and workers’ compensation.
