The Pruden Center for Information and Technology has received a 2014 Risk Management Performance Award from VML Insurance Programs.

Each year, Risk Management Performance Awards are presented to members with a proactive risk management attitude and commitment, excellent loss experience and reporting time, or a significant improvement in their loss ratios. The purpose of the award is to encourage and recognize outstanding risk management performance.

“The Pruden Center has taken a proactive stance on managing safety issues and has worked diligently with VMLIP safety staff to schedule and assist with site visits,” said VMLIP Member Supervisory Board Chair Karen Pallansch. “Those visits have resulted in very few safety issues — and those noted have been addressed quickly, often while safety staff are still on-site.”

The center has also implemented many recommended safety policies and utilized the plethora of safety resources offered by VMLIP. They have utilized funds available through the VMLIP Risk Management Grant program, recently purchasing an AED and battery pack with grant funding.

In addition to formal recognition, the center will also receive a certificate reserving $1,000 in Risk Management Grant funding for their entity. The amount is based on their tier level and can be used to purchase equipment or training that contributes to the members’ overall risk management program.
