Marsh delivers cost-effective and flexible risk training courses covering a wide range of risk management and insurance issues.

Organisations are increasingly turned off by ‘quick fix’ solutions for the short-term.  They are looking for more effective measures to deliver long-term change.  In risk management, risk training can help make that change, by embedding risk management capability into the fabric and culture of an organisation.

Our tailored courses help risk management staff to gain a deeper understanding of risk issues.  This leads to greater competence, skills and confidence in controlling their organisation’s risk.

Marsh training courses use specialist risk consultants, currently active in their fields, and Marsh has been independently acknowledged as the premier provider of risk training in the UK (FWD research, 2005).

Typically, organisations recognise a need for risk training due to:

1. statutory and legislative obligations – examples include health and safety, fire and loss prevention
2. regulatory and compliance commitments – examples include London Stock Exchange, Investors in People, Financial Services Authority and other industry sector regulators
3. the emergence of risk management as a specialist commercial discipline – risk models, risk framework implementation, corporate governance
4. a willingness to embed risk management into company culture
5. risk exposures identified prior to, or at the time of, seeking insurance cover.

The benefits of risk training are numerous, and include:

• reduced costs associated with: under-appreciated and/or under-managed risks; statutory, compliance or corporate governance requirements, and insurance cover
• compliance with statutory and/or regulatory requirements and commitments
• prevention of fires, hazards and accidents and reduction in risk to people and assets
• achievement of business objectives.
