In every organization, care is taken to manage risks, by seeking to eliminate those that can be removed, and reducing and managing the remainder. Part of this process involves developing robust contracts which apportion risk equitably and include a structure of indemnities with contractors, supported by a comprehensive insurance regime. In addition, it is important that contract personnel understand contractual risks and what insurance can (and cannot) do to remove the financial consequences of such risk; always remembering that insurance only mitigates the effect of risk, it does not make the risk itself go away.
A truth about life is our interdependence. Everything we accomplish within an organization is through the efforts of people working together. In spite of our technological advances, our competitive advantage lies in our ability to work effectively with other people.
