Guide to the new BusinessInsurance.com

Welcome to the redesigned BusinessInsurance.com, the online destination for anybody interested in risk and benefits management, and commercial insurance. Our new site is designed to make it easier for you to access quickly information that is directly relevant to you as you seek insights and analysis to help you do your job better. Please take a few minutes to take a tour of the site and explore the many new features.

Highlights:

Specialized channels

We've divided our coverage into six core subject channels: Risk Management, Specialty Risk, Workers Comp, Mid-Market Executive, Brokers & Insurers and Benefits Management. Each channel has its own dedicated reporting staff that will focus on writing and finding news and information relevant to their channels.

Expanded coverage

Business Insurance for almost 45 years has provided news and analysis targeted at risk managers and benefits managers at large corporations. While we'll continue to serve the needs of our core readership, our channel structure allows us to provide targeted information to a wider variety of readers. In particular, our Mid-Market Executive channel serves the needs of senior executives responsible for risk and benefits at companies that don't have a dedicated risk or benefits manager. And our Broker & Insurers channel has been created with readers working in the insurance industry in mind.

Solution Arcs

This unique resource takes a structured approach to addressing key business challenges. The three-stage problem-solving process takes readers from identification to solution of an issue. Content for the Solution Arcs includes staff-written articles, analysis from industry experts, links to other relevant online resources and multimedia features.

Editor's Picks

Our channel editors survey a wide variety of online resources and select the best to showcase on their channels. Those resources can include stories and articles, academic papers, videos, blogs and any other content that we think you'll find interesting and useful.

Video

Our enhanced video player allows you to watch videos tailored to your interest with the ability to easily view related content while the video is playing. This truly multimedia device delivers news and information in-depth and in ways that conventional video players can't replicate. Check out our welcome video at the bottom of the home page and keep coming back for our weekly BI In Focus video reports and our special series.

Comment

The new site contains several ways for you express your own views, whether it be in an open forum or directly with our channel editors. You'll find a commenting tool at the end of each article allowing you to weigh in with your opinion. In addition, we've made it easy for you to email our channel editors directly from their channel pages, so you can ask questions, share your thoughts or suggest topics for us to investigate. Or you can use any of the social media links on our pages to interact through Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn – whatever you prefer.

Those are just a few of things that you'll find on BusinessInsurance.com. As you look around the site, we think you'll find plenty of reasons to keep coming back, bookmark our channels and sign up for our targeted news alerts and newsletters.
