Managing obesity-related complications that drive up the costs of workers compensation claims. Getting an enterprise risk management program off the ground. Providing health care benefits in a changing and uncertain landscape. These are among the most pressing challenges organizations face today, and overcoming them could be the difference between failure and success.

In an effort to help risk and benefits managers tackle these and other critical challenges, Business Insurance has developed special features called Solution Arcs on www.BusinessInsurance.com.

Such features take an in-depth look at a business problem, guiding readers through a three-stage process: identifying and analyzing the various dimensions of the problem, evaluating and implementing solutions, and monitoring the efficacy of those solutions.

Solution Arcs include original Business Insurance content as well as “Editor's Picks” that highlight relevant outside views, research and resources. Content is continually added to the Solution Arcs as new dimensions and solutions emerge, and readers can keep up with all the latest by signing up for email updates.

The Solution Arcs reside on the various coverage channels of www.Business-Insurance.com. Current features, including the channel on which they appear, are:
