Living under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic for several years has upended where and how we work as well as career advancement opportunities and fulfilment. And this happened at a point in time when commitments were being made across industry sectors, including insurance and risk management, to further diversity, equity, and inclusion. Join Marsh, RIMS, the Spencer Educational Foundation, and other risk management leaders for this kick-off session to the RIMS RISKWORLD 2022 DE&I track. We’ll have a frank discussion about the DE&I risks and opportunities facing our industry today in the wake of the pandemic, engage in conversation about the experiences and expectations of DE&I populations, and explore how we can secure the insurance and risk management profession as a career of choice for future generations.
Recent studies, including 2021’s Marsh-RIMS Excellence in Risk Management report, have concluded that the lack of diversity and inclusion within an organization is an enterprise risk. And in our rapidly changing and uncertain environment, you need a range of people around the table offering new ideas that challenge the status quo, as yesterday’s solutions may not be the answer to today’s problems. During this session, we’ll discuss the importance of linking diversity and inclusion efforts to your risk, resilience, and business strategies. How can organizations be more intentional in building diverse and inclusive environments, developing questioning mindsets, and creating safe spaces where employees can speak up without fear of reprisal? What are the risks if they do not? We’ll explore these issues and some real-world examples of how diversity and inclusion efforts have improved decision making and led to better business results in our complex world.

Buyers and sellers today must consider the heightened risk that affects their mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. Be prepared to assist your organization as M&A activity increases. Discuss the market-shaping emerging risks, such as the economic uncertainty wrought by the pandemic and the potential for significant tax and regulatory changes. Familiarize yourself with the nuances to consider when seeking coverage for M&A. Learn how transactional liability insurance products, such as representations and warranties insurance, can help smooth negotiations and close deals. But also ready yourself for greater selectivity amongst the few carriers that offer this insurance and their call for greater due diligence as insured demand increases. Position your organization—whether it is the buyer or seller—for optimal insurance coverage negotiations. Hosted by RIMS New York Chapter.
