Cost increases are never good for business, and your risk management program is no different. For years, brokers have been telling you the best way to cut the costs of your program is through policy changes, deductible options, or new funding mechanisms.
Unfortunately, none of these “solutions” maximizes cost control.
They’re all variables in the cost of the commodity and are determined by the marketplace. When you go this route, you’re chasing the wrong rabbit.
But, there are some critical expenses inside of your program that you CAN control. Financial Leakage that stems from claims events is a great place to start.
What is Financial Leakage?
It is the additional, frictional, unbudgeted expense of a claim event that ripples through your organization and is absorbed by reducing your margins. Think of the operational disruption inside your organization that your insurance policy does not cover.
What can you do to mitigate Financial Leakage?
- Measure the areas where it’s occurring inside your cost structure. You need to know where the problem areas are.
- Determine how this Financial Leakage is eroding your profits, margins, EBITDA, and budget surplus (non-profits), so you can budget accurately.
- Work with a broker who understands how to recapture these costs using specialty resources designed to improve your business performance.
