Why does this matter?
The direct cost of insurance is a fraction of your overall cost of risk. Risk Managers calculate that your total cost is 4 to 10 times more than your direct insurance premiums.- Losses will increase your costs.
- Claims management yields the best outcome for injured workers or any other type of loss that your business may suffer.
- Reputational risk matters – Your relationships are the value of your business. You must protect your employees, your client relationships and your brand.
- Insurance carriers will compete for business when you have controls and standards.
Specifically, at DRA, we work to identify and manage your Total Cost of Risk.
We will conduct an analysis that calculates your total cost of risk and create the best strategy. Some of the tools that we use include:
- Risk Identification
