3 Case Study A Company had high cost and frequency of employee injuries. Global operations needed a way to identify existing compliance with established standards and the ability to reduce these costs and frequency of injuries. Working with the Company, Willis Risk Management addressed the client s specific needs, along with their constraints, in order to best improve the Company s position.

5 Blue is expandable in order that the process can best respond to issues that you may have all of which can be identified by collated survey results. How does Willis Blue work? Willis Blue encourages participation of your staff and management team to help establish targets and action plans to include when surveying your sites. These discussions are key to the process and successful results, and will be approached together with your nominated Risk Manager. The definition of client-specific standards of performance and creation of client-defined measurement units and weightings are integral to tailoring a bespoke approach for your company and are the first steps in the Blue process. This includes a selection of global best practice for your business and the organisation of audit targets, guidelines and analysis criteria. Next the transition to the inter/intranet based information system must be considered, this is where all the data is collected and monitored in preparation for the Executive Summary report. Blue can then be introduced into your organisation, along with the pre-discussed senior management s directives. Training of internal staff and external consumers of Blue results, such as banks and regulators, will take place in order to educate those necessary. The Blue survey itself will take place on your selected operational units and the results can then be reported via the online function to be collated in preparation for reporting. At this stage, management of the recommendations is vital as the process of risk improvement begins. Blue is expandable in order that the process can best respond to issues that you may have by organisation, location, line of coverage or by internally or externally imposed constituencies all of which can be identified by collated survey results.
