RISK MANAGEMENT REMINDER
by Terrie Norris, CSP, ARM, CPSI

One of the most important steps to ensuring your agency is working to reduce its losses is having the CEO/General Manager, as well as directors and managers who report to them, review your agency's losses. There are a number of ways you can monitor losses and ensure they are being properly investigated and the necessary steps are being implemented; here are some suggestions:

  • Require and review root cause-occurrence investigations conducted for all major losses.
  • Review losses on a monthly basis as part of a staff meeting, and during the meeting, require the director/manager responsible for the division that experienced the loss to report the steps they are taking to ensure the loss occurrence does not happen again. 
  • Require your directors and managers to report on the effectiveness of the loss prevention steps they have taken at a future staff meeting.
Your personal attention is important to ensure your staff is conducting the necessary root cause-investigations and implementing effective prevention methods. Remember, if you make it a priority, so will your staff. They will focus on the items on which they see you focus.

If you have any questions, please contact Terrie Norris at (800) 541-4591, ext. 19055, or at
