We use our retail industry knowledge and insight to help you manage and mitigate risk and control cost within your business.
Your Willis Towers Watson client relationship director and Willis Towers Watson risk partner look at your operational structure, your people and the values and ethics that make your company what it is today and what it endeavours to be in the future. We then review risks that could threaten the existence of your business as well as areas for improvements in business resilience and recovery, risk retention and transfer, servicing efficiencies and cost reductions.
Working as an extension of your business, we use informed analysis to help make the complex nature of the risks you face simpler. Through our connected risk management offering, we then provide a holistic solution aligned directly to your key business drivers including: branding, marketing and communications, staff behaviours, product range, supply chain and the site (physical or online).
Our unique approach includes the regular review and evaluation of risks around the following categories:
- Assets, logistics and income
- Financial, digital and contract
- People and culture
- Analytics
- Service
