Results Achieved
Since the beginning of 2016, claims per quarter have dropped from 13 claims in Q1 to 7 claims in Q3. This decline was seen with only one full quarter of AWS being on-site. Claims continued to decrease during June 2016 to November 2016, even when the number of employees on-site doubled.
