Risk and Claims Management During a Pandemic
Risk and Claim Managers are facing significant pressure to support organizations during this difficult time. If you have employed your pandemic plan, are you optimizing outside resources to create stability and opportunities for your organization?
As clients utilize our most advanced tools for strategic risk management and business continuity, it has become clear that opportunities exist even in the most challenging circumstances such as a pandemic. Public and private resources are coming together to support a future which will ultimately be safer and more stable for our societies and organizations. The seriousness of the COVID 19 pandemic has forced nations and organizations to focus on what is most important for survival, and to plan for short and long-term consequences. Some of the key points we have learned so far during this crisis include:
- The need for consistent international, national, regional and organizational goals to contain and manage the crisis with an emphasis on protecting the most vulnerable people and resources.
- Risk Profiling, Risk Assessment and Risk Mapping with a highly specialized and focused approach for each client's type of business. The process thus far has focused on separately analyzing every Risk Profile, then continuously benchmarking each Risk Profile with current data to minimize cost and maximize value.
- Development of organizational communication structures which focus on the most important issues to protect people, property and income.
- Retention of highly qualified, experienced professional service teams dedicated to work in a decentralized environment with interconnected technologies.
