Through STEER, clients also have increased
access to external resources. “For example,
clients looking for small-business loans had
trouble finding information, so we quickly
arranged a webinar in which they could
interact with experts and bankers who
helped them navigate the new regulations,”
says Elkins.
Another component of STEER is a
public website offering response and
risk mitigation with documents such as
Preparing and Documenting a Business
Interruption claim, Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Workers’ Compensation and OSHA

“STEER helps clients prepare and respond
to public-health emergencies through
our expertise and experience in risk-
management strategies and solutions.”
“STEER is more
than a task force
and more than a
program — it’s a
strategy.”
