It wasn’t those numbers alone that impressed the Risk & Insurance® magazine Teddy Awards judges. It was the complete package of a corporate culture dedicated to employee safety that inspired them to select HMC to receive one of four Theodore Roosevelt Workers’ Compensation and Disability Management Awards for 2016. We are the first construction company to earn this honor. The prestigious award, named after the President who promoted the first significant workers’ compensation legislation, recognizes outstanding safe work performance and risk management. Judges look for companies that have excelled in reducing the number and cost of injuries to their workers. This award is a significant achievement that places HMC among other distinguished companies, including these recipients in past years: Honda, Harley Davidson, PetSmart, Target, Aramark and American Airlines.
