Workers' Compensation Award On Friday, January 24, 2003 the Denver Public Schools was recognized as the "Outstanding Employer" for 2003 by the Professionals in Workers Compensation (PWC). This is a tribute to both the Human Resources and Risk Management Departments, especially the fine work done by Doreen Bovey and Annette Solano in the workers' compensation office. In addition, this is a tribute to the direction and attitude that has been developed in the District's program. In the past seven years we have been able to create a program that is high touch for our injured employees. Claims are managed aggressively and moved along to the next step. The results have been a low rate of lost time claims compared to industry standards and a high rate of return to work. The Professionals in Workers Compensation (PWC) is a statewide organization comprised of claims adjusters, physicians, nurses, therapists, defense and plaintiffs attorneys, employers and insurers.
