Risk Management is Good Management Program

The Risk Management is Good Management program is designed to help member organizations understand and reduce their risk exposures.

The program’s coordinated set of ten self-assessment surveys helps management evaluate their operations against best practices to identify gaps and areas of concern. Loss Control Services provides additional resources and guidance as needed to help members turn those insights into meaningful action.

Leaders must first determine which self-assessment surveys apply to their organization and assign them to the appropriate department heads. Having department heads complete the surveys encourages both a broader understanding of their own operations and a focus on details that are often or easily overlooked.

The four main self-assessments (A-D) should be completed by all members:

A. Municipal Management

B. Facility Safety & Operations

C. Human Resources / Employment Practices

D. Fraud Prevention

IN ADDITION, members with the operations specified below (E-J) should complete the relevant self-assessment(s):

E. Motor Vehicle Operations

F. Public Infrastructure

G. Law Enforcement

H. Fire Department

I. DPW, Water, Wastewater, or Parks & Recreation Department
(complete an assessment for each department in operation)

J. Library
