Every day across the United States, more than 10,000 people turn 65 years old. This means that in any given year, nearly 3.8 million people are hitting retirement age, continuing the impact of the so-called “silver tsunami” on the economy and the job market. Industries everywhere seek to fill the gaps left by retiring employees. What is a company to do when their risk managers leave and take their industry knowledge with them?

Risk Managers can often be difficult to replace right away. Organizations must build trust with a prospective employee, particularly when it comes to managing risk that leave an organization vulnerable. In addition, risk often impacts nearly every area of operations within a functioning organization, meaning there is a lot of information that needs to be learned for a risk manager to effectively do his or her job.

The most important thing to remember is that delaying risk management work often creates more vulnerabilities—so acting quickly and with confidence is imperative to the health of your organization.
