| | Jon Wroten To Leave CA DIR's Office Of Self Insurance Plans To Join Sedgwick As A Senior Vice President
By Lonce LaMon - December 14, 2015
The chief of the California Department of Industrial Relations’ (DIR) Office of Self Insurance Plans, Jon Wroten, is resigning from the DIR and joining Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. as Senior Vice President, Regulatory Compliance and Quality. Jon will retire from state service in this month, December of 2015.
Wroten has been responsible for overseeing and regulating the nation’s largest self-insurance workers’ compensation marketplace in his position as Chief of DIR’s Office of Self Insurance Plans (OSIP).
During Jon Wroten’s tenure the DIR and OSIP:
-
Implemented processes to manage over $22 billion in total risk exposure, protecting the self-insured benefits of 4.6 million covered workers.
-
Instituted safeguards that monitor self-insurers’ solvency, compliance and market conduct, including the actuarial-based collateral evaluation and peer-review system.
-
Successfully reduced application and financial underwriting processes from nine months to less than 21 days.
-
Deployed an electric filing system to simplify annual regulatory reporting processes.
Prior to his appointment as OSIP chief, Wroten worked in DIR as a Cal/OSHA senior manager, served at the California Department of Business Oversight investigating white collar financial crimes, and scrutinized political campaign finance cases for the California Fair Political Practices Commission.
Christine Baker, DIR Director, made this statement: “Jon Wroten is a valued member of my executive management team. He helped implement the SB 863 self-insurance reforms and worked to make California’s self-insurance program more efficient and fair.”
The Office of Self Insurance Plans is responsible for the oversight and regulation of workers’ compensation self-insurance within California. OSIP is also responsible for establishing and insuring that required security deposits are posted by self-insurers in amounts sufficient to collateralize against potential defaults by self-insured employers and groups.
