Welcome to the tenth episode of RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Writer at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.

 

This is a very special edition of RIMScast as it was recorded live, on-site, at the RIMS ERM Conference in Montreal, Quebec. Featuring insight from three of the conference’s speakers — Angela Slobodian, the Acting Director of Health and Wellness for the Ottawa Police Service; Bonnie Frank, Vice President of PSP Investments; and Laura Cisi, the Vice President of Global Risk Management for the Clorox Company — this episode has some great key takeaways! Each of these guests is from an entirely different industry with differing goals, approaches, and frameworks.

 

Tune in to hear all about how Angela has added Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) practices to their organization to help improve their health and wellness risk management, how ERM has been a useful part of crisis management in Bonnie’s world, and Laura’s thoughts on what risk managers can do to improve their chances at being a part of more high-level conversations.
