Loss Prevention Consultant Services (where permitted)
Chubb has developed a network of top employment law firms, human resources consulting firms, and labor economist statistical firms that offer specialized services designed to help companies deal effectively with employment issues. Not only are these pre-approved firms available to our customers at preferred rates, but we will reimburse customers, where permitted, for a portion of the cost of those services that directly relate to the coverage offered under our EPLI policy.
