5 Top Tips To Make the Risk Management Process More Efficient

April 22, 2021 //  by Geoff

Effective risk management is important for every business owner. It doesn’t matter whether you operate a small enterprise or a multinational corporation. Every business will face various risks along the journey, but many can be avoided by focusing attention on risk management planning and processes.

Risk management doesn’t have to be complicated or left up to one individual. Ideally, everyone in the organisation will play a role in the risk management process and ensuring everything is in order, to prevent mishaps and accidents, or incidents that hamper progression.

Let’s look at some top tips to make the process of risk management easier.

#1 – Start a Risk Management Plan

Everything works better with a plan. A risk management plan doesn’t only allow you to list the various risks you figure your business could face, it also makes you really think about risk management. You won’t be able to devise and refine a plan in one day. It’s an ongoing commitment and you certainly won’t be able to think of every conceivable risk at the one time.

Your plan should always be evolving. It should list the possible risks, their order of importance and likelihood of occurring, and what you plan to do to prevent a risk from coming to fruition.

If you don’t have a risk management plan, your attempts to avoid problems will likely be haphazard at best.

#2 – Seek Input From Employees

Your most valuable source of information is on the ground floor, direct from the mouths of those who are running your business day to day.

Your employees are far more likely to be able to alert you to potential risks and problem areas than someone in middle management, sitting in a comfortable office. You need input from everyone in your employ, from the bottom right through to the top. Everybody has different tasks and roles to play, and only those individuals will clearly see where things are going well and where the problem areas are.

Never be too proud to seek input from your staff when it comes to compiling your list of risks to pay attention to.

#3 – Hire a Dedicated Risk Manager

If your operation is large enough and you have space within your employee budget, consider hiring a dedicated risk management professional. This way your risk manager can take ownership of everything associated with risk management and industry compliance.

This frees up owners and managerial staff to attend to other tasks, conferring and liaising with the risk manager as required. Your risk manager will also confer with employees on a regular basis to both glean information from them, as well as offering instructions and ideas to minimise or mitigate risks.

Over an extended period of time, potentially your risk manager could save your business way more money than it cost to hire them, not to mention all the headaches they can help you avoid along the way.

#4 – Invest In Quality Risk Management Software

Investing in quality risk management software tailor-made for your specific industry or business is one of the most sound business decisions you could make. If you have a dedicated risk manager, they will be able to utilise this powerful software to its fullest advantage.

Even if you don’t have a risk manager on board, having software that monitors your business and alerts you to problems before an incident can occur is both invaluable, as well as saving time for you and your staff.

Risk management software may also come with modules and components to assist you with remaining compliant with the laws and regulations governing your business. It’s an investment that will save you time, money and headaches.

#5 – Research Your Competitors

If you can, do some research on your competitors and try to discover what problems their business may have had to deal with over the months and years. This can shortcut the risk management process as well as forewarning you of potential problems to look out for.

If there are real-life examples out there to learn from, why not take advantage of them?

In Conclusion

If you get everyone in your company involved, possibly hire a risk manager and invest in some quality software, risk management as an ongoing task can become relatively easy. And like anything, you’ll get better at it as you go along.
