The basic methods for risk management—avoidance, retention, sharing, transferring, and loss prevention and
reduction—can apply to all facets of an individual's life and can pay
off in the long run.
The five steps of the risk management process are identification, assessment, mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting risks. By following the steps outlined below,
you will be able to create a basic risk management plan for your business.
The
following are some of the areas that business owners can focus on to help
manage the risks that arise from running a business.
1.Prioritize
The first step in creating a risk management plan
should always be to prioritize risks and threats. You can do so by using a
somewhat universal scale based on each risk's likelihood of happening:
Of course, a risk
that falls into the top category should take priority over the others, and a
plan to prevent, or at least mitigate, these risks should be put into place.
However, there is a catch. If a risk falls into a lower rung yet presents the
potential for more financial damage, then it should take priority.
2. Implement a Quality Assurance
Program
A
good reputation is imperative if you want a sustainable business. Customer
service is key to success. Be sure to test your products and services in order
to assure the highest quality. By testing and analyzing what you’re offering,
you will have an opportunity to make necessary adjustments. Also, strongly
consider taking it a step further by evaluating your testing and
analyzing methods.
3. Control Growth
This has everything to do with employee training. If you’re selling products and/or services and you set lofty goals for employees, they might be tempted to take unnecessary risks, which can lead to a bad reputation for your company. Instead, train your employees to focus on quality, not quantity. By doing so, you will avoid the risk of declining sales due to high-pressure sales tactics that customers don’t appreciate.
