BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

ATLANTA—Lockton Cos. L.L.C. has named Valerie Houghton as health risk manager for its Southeast U.S. operations

In this capacity, Ms. Houghton will help employers evaluate, implement and measure the effectiveness of corporate wellness initiatives, Lockton said Tuesday in a statement.
