RM Advancer Awards are back!
RM Advancer is Australia's premier risk management awards program, recognising outstanding performance and exceptional risk management achievements of Vero and GIO Workers Compensation clients and their brokers in categories for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations.
After a short break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we’re delighted to be running the RM Advancer awards program again this year to showcase and reward the role risk managers play in protecting their organisations. This fifteenth edition of the awards celebrates the commitment to implementing best practices in risk management as organisations adapted to the challenges faced over the last couple of years. Whether it was a team effort leading to improved risk culture, disaster-prevention initiatives or an investment in safety that’s already paying dividends – we want to hear about it.
Don’t miss the opportunity to shine a spotlight on your clients, setting the benchmark in protecting what matters most!
