Surviving
Catastrophe:
The Changing Face of Risk |
|
| There was a
time when businesses effectively managed risk by insuring themselves
against losses in property, product inventory and supplies. That's
no longer true. Today, for a variety of reasons, an organization needs
a growing number of insurance and proactive management programs in
order to protect its assets appropriately and adequately.
Nitty-Gritty Solutions can help you identify
the types and amounts of coverage your organization needs. We'll
evaluate your current costs associated with your present risk management
program, and recommend the appropriate level of coverage that achieves
the results you want and need. If you desire, we will provide cost-effective
and timely claims service administration.
We are THE one-source insurance and risk
management resource who will help you say goodbye to double-digit
annual cost increases. In fact, we'll turn your present expenses
into savings.
Identifying True Risk
Potential
In addition to protection from natural disasters,
an effective risk management program takes into consideration a
variety of situations that threaten the organization's assets. These
include: job-related injuries, inadequate employment practices,
and e-commerce standards failure. And, don't forget the increasing
number of unanticipated events involving individuals who set out
to harm other people and/or property. All of these situations not
only create "out-of-pocket" financial loss, but also can
burden you with decreased productivity and/or unanticipated legal
fees. Can your business survive such a catastrophe?
A responsible risk management program
includes both appropriate levels of insurance coverage and a proactive
safety control effort. These include:
- Property and casualty coverage that
recognizes the true value of your assets, including their measurable
contribution to the organization's profits;
- Assurances that allow you to continue
to recognize income and pay expenses should a debilitating
event occur beyond your control;
- Compensation for losses incurred as a
direct result of a failure of your e-commerce business processes;
- Protection against liability that can
arise from inadequate employment practices and non-compliance
with contractual standards;
- Safety training programs that
teach management and employees their shared work-related responsibilities
and best operating practices;
- Appropriate measures to identify and
address aggressive behavior, sexual harassment, and workplace
violence.
In addition to determining the circumstances
against which your organization must be protected, business leaders
should focus on funding options. Consider whether traditional insurance
coverage or self-funding alternatives are in the best interest of
the company. Call on the experience of those who can effectively
relate the benefits of both options in light of your business's
particular circumstances.
The Successful Risk Management
Alternative
Today, asset protection has become so complex
that larger organizations have added a Risk Manager to their staffs.
Small business entrepreneurs elect to: assume the responsibility
themselves; combine the function with that of the Human Resources
Manager, Controller, or another position; or delegate the job to
their insurance agent.
None of these alternatives provide the best
solution. The most qualified Risk Manager lacks the time and resources
necessary to keep up with the constantly changing rules and regulations
impacting this area. The number of insurance programs and the multiple
options within each is equally confusing.
Risk management has become an industry of
its own, and the specialties within it are many. Only by utilizing
the services of experienced team of professionals can you be absolutely
certain that your organization is adequately protected from every
possibility that can erode the bottom line or, worse yet, close
the business down.
