Holmes Murphy offers this educational information to provoke thought and discussion and it should not be viewed as a mandate or requirement.
We view part of our role as an insurance and risk management professional to anticipate your needs and educate you in an effort to complement the organization’s loss prevention and control efforts, not replace the decision making autonomy of our client organizations. We hope you find this educational piece to be of value and stand ready to discuss it further with you or any of your constituents.
