How to Get a Job in Risk Management

Posted on by

So you wanna be a risk manager? Great. First step: you’re going to need to get a job in the field. As always, that’s the challenging part. Most companies want people with experience.

But how do you get experience if you need experience before you can get experience?

How do you get that first job? A few top-level risk managers shared their philosophies on the matter with Property Casualty 360.

Tim East, director of corporate risk management for Walt Disney, told the site what he looks for when hiring.

At a minimum [for employees], a bachelor’s degree in a field that’s related to risk management/business, finance, management—the possibilities are many because risk management is broad.

For an entry-level position, that’s sufficient; for a more senior position, I’d like to see experience in the industry, either with an insurer or broker, and some certification such as the ARM, CPCU or other credential.

For schools, we look at Florida State Univ., Georgia Southern and the Katie School, although there are others emerging. For recruiting, we look for individuals who have the education and are the right fit for our unique organization.”

Michael Liebowitz, the top risk manager at New York University and a former president of RIMS (the organization that publishes this blog), had some interesting insight of his own.

The hardest thing today in finding someone is getting an individual who is well rounded.

Sometimes students are very focused; they jump at the first job that comes along. I understand that, but there is a difference in working at the carriers or the brokers, compared to working inside a corporation with a risk-management department.

I would rather have someone with a blank slate than someone with preconceived notions, or who has obtained a little bit of experience over the last 18 months or year.

The ‘but’ is that this generation moves around, and how much time do you want to invest in someone who is going to be gone in two years?

8.6 Million Californians Participate in ShakeOut

Posted on by

Today at 10:20 a.m. Pacific time, many Californians participated in the Great California ShakeOut, a state-wide drill that helps people and organizations be better prepared for major earthquakes. Wherever they were at that moment this morning, those who participated practiced the drop, cover and hold on technique as if there were a major earthquake occurring at that moment.

In an article I penned in the October issue of Risk Management, I summed up the history of this gargantuan drill.

Started in 2008, the Great California ShakeOut began as the Great Southern California ShakeOut — an effort by scientists and emergency managers to inform the public about earthquake preparedness. The drill was based on the ShakeOut Scenario, a comprehensive description of the destruction a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault would cause in Southern California, which was organized by the United States Geological Survey’s Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project. In 2008, the ShakeOut became the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history with 5.4 million participants spanning eight counties in Southern California. This year, more than eight million are expected to participate in California alone with Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia practicing the “drop, cover and hold on” technique as well.

The drill has since spread to Japan, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, Turkey and Chile. Below is a video produced by the Great California ShakeOut team showing the exact drill millions followed this morning.

Less Litigation, More Regulation

Posted on by

It looks like businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom have seen slightly less litigation in 2011 compared to 2010. However, regulatory actions and internal investigations are climbing — this according to the latest Fulbright & Jaworski Litigation Trends Survey.

But corporate counsel doesn’t expect the trend in decreased litigation to continue. Many respondents expect the year ahead will bring more litigation (and even more regulation) as companies attempt to grow in an economy that remains volatile.

The vast majority of corporate counsel polled in the U.S. and the U.K. predict litigation will either rise or remain the same in the next 12 months: 92% of U.S. companies and 85% of U.K. companies. Of those, one-third of U.S. respondents predict an increase while 20% of U.K. respondents expect a rise in legal disputes in the coming 12 months. That compares with 31% and 16%, respectively, last year.

Why? And what sectors?

According to the report, stricter regulation and company growth topped the reasons cited for the anticipated increase in litigation. The industries bracing the most for an increase in litigation are technology, engineering, health care and insurance.

“Our survey respondents have a front-row seat to the increased scrutiny brought on by stricter regulatory enforcement,” said Stephen C. Dillard, the head of Fulbright’s global disputes practice. “This year, our survey confirmed a heightened level of governmental investigations focused on the energy and insurance industries, with the health care, manufacturing and engineering sectors not far behind.”

The report reveals that whistleblowers remain a concern in the coming year. More specifically, one-quarter of respondents anticipate an increase in the number of claims or lawsuits brought by whistleblowers next year. This year, 22% of respondents said their organizations were subjected to whistleblower allegations. Due to the Dodd-Frank whistleblower provisions, we can definitely expect more in litigation within this category for 2012. Companies, and more importantly, risk managers, should prepare themselves.
