Each year, the Teddy Award committee honors companies and non-profit organizations for their achievements in reducing the number and cost of employee work-related injuries. The award was named after President Theodore Roosevelt, who in 1908 introduced and promoted the first piece of important workers' compensation legislation in the United States.

"Innovation, excellence, and service have been the key driving forces within our program," said Bob Steggert, vice president of casualty claims at Marriott International. "As a lodging leader, Marriott has a tradition of providing exceptional quality, service, and value at our hotels. In keeping with this tradition, our workers' compensation and disability management program has experienced outstanding performance and results over the five-year period analyzed for this award. A key part of this success was Aon eSolutions and its iVOS system, which serves as our centralized claims hub."

"We're happy to have played a role in Marriott's program," said Randy Wheeler, managing director of Aon eSolutions. "We knew Marriott had a unique blend of advanced technology, enterprise loss control, world-class safety, nurse advocacy, and supplemental return-to-work-which resulted in nothing less than a cutting-edge program and it's the reason we nominated our client for the award. We're thrilled Marriott won; Bob and his team are very deserving of this honor."
