WELCOME
Hello and welcome to the second 2018 issue of Sterling Insurance
Group Risk & Business Magazine. Things have been moving right
along for us at Sterling, and we hope things have been good for you
as well.
I’d like to take a moment to thank all of our current readers and any
newcomers to our publication. Our goal, as always, is to provide as
much quality education and information as we can for the benefit of
everyone reading, whether they are our clients or otherwise. With
that in mind, we are covering a number of exciting topics in this
issue, ranging from cybercrime to employee benefit programs and
just about everything in between.
One of the hot button topics, especially in light of the changes in
Michigan law starting this November regarding marijuana use,
is what exactly the landscape is going to begin looking like for
employers. How will OSHA respond to claims? How will drug
policies in the workplace be affected? After all, unlike alcohol,
there isn’t a fast metabolism for marijuana. It stays in the system,
providing a big grey area for testing. We have an article on page 6
covering just that. It’s an interesting topic, especially since other
states are trending in the same direction.
As always, if you have comments or suggestions for future issues, we
would love to hear them. You can send them to
[email protected].
