Tennessee Workers' Compensation
Tennessee is known for its southern cooking, country music, and Tennessee whiskey. However, The Volunteer State offers much more, and is known for its many small businesses and corporate headquarters.
Tennessee’s small business industry has been on a strong rise. The state is known for its many attractions such as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Lookout Mountain, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Major industries in the state include agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, health care, are music/entertainment. FedEx, HCA Healthcare, AutoZone, Dollar General, and Cracker Barrel all have their corporate headquarters in Tennessee.
Small businesses in Tennessee employ more than 1.1 million people. This accounts for almost 43% of the state’s private workforce, and with more than 72,900 workplace injuries and 122 fatalities across all industries in 2018, small businesses need to make sure they have workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
Large businesses in Tennessee also self-insure and set aside funds that are dedicated to workers’ comp. Zenployers is a perfect match for this as well.
