Without all of us working as a team, this could not have happened. This is a true honor for R&R Insurance.”

R&R's own Riley Enright has a featured article in the Milwaukee Business Journal as a sales executive with an active and healthy lifestyle.
"I've always been considered a fairly energetic individual." Anyone who has worked with Riley know that truer words were never spoken! Riley's active lifestyle outside of the office has been a great example when speaking with clients about their own wellness initiatives: "to best explain it, to best understand it - live it."
After growing up in a family of 10, fitness and being active has always been a part of Riley's lifestyle. As an adult, what had started as a few casual bike rides has now grown in to biking three days a week, with 50- to 60-mile weekend rides, plus running and adding tennis in to his regular routine.
Not only is Riley riding for his own well-being, but he also rides for charity. The Firehouse 50 in Cable, WI is one of the largest and oldest citizen races in the Midwest and raises money for the Grand View Fire Department. And in an effort to raise money for the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation, Riley rides from Door County to Milwaukee.
Great job, Riley!

There was a lot of volley back and forth with our Favorite School competition this Fall. Seventy-one schools were entered into our Facebook poll asking Facebook users to vote for their favorite school on R&R Insurance Services' Facebook page.
Living Word Lutheran High School, located in Jackson, WI, had the lead for most of the month-long competition. Arrowhead High School, located in Hartland, WI, and Living Word volleyed back and forth for the lead position during the course of the last days of competition.
A total of 1,203 votes in the contest. Early on in the contest we announced that as an added bonus for the winning school, if they were insured commercially with R&R, the prize would be doubled. That added more momentum to the cause. The final tally was captured at 10:00p.m. on Thursday, September 27th, with Arrowhead taking first place with a total vote count of 384. Arrowhead wins a $1,000 donation to their school ($500 doubled because they are insured with R&R Insurance).
Living Word Lutheran High School in Jackson, WI was a very close second place winner and receives a donation of $350.00.
A huge thank you to all of the schools for making our competition a success. Congratulations to both Arrowhead High School and Living Word Lutheran High School for their achievements!
We are very proud to insure the families and businesses in these communities. Here is a snapshot of the final poll results:
A study recently conducted by the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) provides further proof of the emerging costs related to obesity in the workplace. Not only does it impact health insurance costs, but obesity has also been linked to higher workers compensation claims.
The article provides further proof that proactive wellness programs in the workplace are more important than ever. Manufacturers are already finding it extremely difficult to find skilled employees to fill vacant positions, particularly as one generation of skilled employees nears retirement age – as noted in the Manpower Group survey.
Given all of those factors, it’s more important than ever to keep your current employees healthy, active, on the job and contributing their valuable knowledge to the organization. At R&R Insurance, we combine our extensive knowledge of how to reduce workers compensation claims with workplace wellness concepts to drive further reductions in insurance premiums that will positively affect the bottom line.
