25.01.2022 Under insurance can be as catastrophic to your business as seen with the recent Cyclone Debbie disaster With insured losses from Cyclone Debbie already hitting almost half a billion dollars (from 46,817 claims), and residents and businesses in the disaster areas of Queensland and Northern NSW discovering they are woefully under-insured, or worse, not insured at all, it is all too apparent that being under insured is a huge risk to take.

25.01.2022 Construction industry professionals have had it tough in recent years. Poor quality structures built in the construction boom and the costs of replacing dangerous cladding saw insurance claims go through the roof. The result? Premiums increased significantly. Now, Professional Indemnity insurance premiums are also set to soar. Professional Indemnity insurance has been the most severely impacted insurance class for the sector during 2020. Sustained losses have resulted in premium increases of 20% to 50% for Design & Construct Professional Indemnity. Pricing pressure has been even more significant for those with poor claims histories, with premium increases upward of 50% to 100%.

24.01.2022 Working from home: Why cyber security is a big risk for your business At a time when financial markets are in turmoil, businesses are struggling and people continue to panic buy, it comes as no surprise that cyber criminals are capitalising. Relying on people being distracted, concerned and wanting to find information about COVID-19, scammers are using malicious emails, phony news posts and fake websites to steal money and personal information. Since the Coronavirus pandemic ...hit Australia in early March, Scamwatch has received more than 2700 scam reports from consumers mentioning the Coronavirus, totalling over $1,100,000 in losses. Common scams include phishing for personal information, online shopping and superannuation scams. Read the full article... https://lnkd.in/gEiWaBh

23.01.2022 Over the last few weeks, weve been sharing why risk management planning is essential for your business. We know risks are part and parcel of running any business. Big risks. Small risks. And everything in between. Risks are everywhere. So having an effective risk management plan in place could be the difference between the success or failure of your business if the worst happens.

23.01.2022 So said Mahatma Ghandi. And its true. Particularly when it comes to your business. Did you know that more than 60 per cent of Australian adults are in an unhealthy weight range and approximately one-third of all working-age Australians have at least one chronic disease. These figures are distressing. More distressing still is the fact that figures from the NSW Government show that a whopping 96 per cent of working-age Australians have at least one risk factor for chronic diseases and 72 per cent have multiple factors.* [ 445 more words ] http://www.emjayib.com.au/business-health/

22.01.2022 Great Read! Jordan is one of our great employees at Emjay Insurance Brokers!

21.01.2022 We all take risks. Every single day. Risk is ever present and part of so many things we do. Some of the risks we take are small. So small in fact that were not even aware of what were doing; our brains subconsciously assess and measure these risks and we dont even realise its happening. There may only be a tiny chance of something going wrong and even if it does, the consequences arent anything to really worry about.

21.01.2022 It is difficult to quantify the cost of a product recall to Australian businesses as there are so many components to consider, such as the advertising costs (to... alert consumers to your recall), transport and disposal or repair of your recalled product, fines that you may incur, replacement products, lost sales and ongoing reputational damage. The ACCC found there were 670 product recalls in the 2015/16 financial year, up from 596 the previous year. [ 273 more words ] http://www.emjayib.com.au/product-recall/

18.01.2022 The Rio Olympics have come and gone. Weve spent two weeks glued to our TVs, watching the best the sporting world has to offer. Weve seen some outstanding sporting feats. There have been athletes that have performed just as we anticipated. Think Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt claiming his much expected victory in the 100m. And theres been those that have seemingly come from nowhere to claim gold. [ 670 more words ] http://www.emjayib.com.au/business-performance/

15.01.2022 Australian businesses are regularly targeted by a range of malicious cyber activity as well as accidental or intentional security breaches by employees, which can result in ongoing damage to their profitability, reputation and competitiveness. The variety of malicious cyber activity can be anything from online vandalism and cybercrime, through to the theft of commercially sensitive intellectual property and negotiation strategies, and sometimes just plain carelessness.

15.01.2022 One of your company's greatest risks are your employees. For majority of businesses, employees are on the frontline and drive the entire offering of the company. This means that employee happiness should be a goal that company owners should strive for. Creating a happy and thriving workplace in turn creates a place with high employee engagement. Did you know that unengaged employees around the world cost businesses $450 billion a year?. [ 203 more words ] http://www.emjayib.com.au/improve-productivity-and-mitigat/

15.01.2022 New South Wales is the first jurisdiction to outlaw insurance for WHS monetary penalties with the commencement of amendments to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) on 10 June 2020. The changes are the result of the NSW Government implementing key recommendations from the Review of the Model Work Health and Safety Laws conducted by Safe Work Australia. The review, which resulted in a report released in December 2018, considered the operation of WHS laws in all Australian... jurisdictions and made recommendations aimed at improving the consistency, effectiveness and enforcement of these laws. The recommendations were wide-ranging. From harmonising maximum penalties across jurisdictions to implementing industrial manslaughter laws, the review put all jurisdictions on notice about what the future of work health and safety holds. While amendments on a national level are unlikely to progress in the near future, Kevin Anderson, the NSW Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation, said when introducing the amendments into Parliament that New South Wales cannot afford to wait. So what do the changes look like in New South Wales? Read the full story https://www.emjayib.com.au/work-health-and-safety-no-more-/

13.01.2022 It seems no matter how many stories we read or hear about cyber-crime attacks and data breaches, businesses still hold the view it will happen to someone elses business, and never our own. Yet the list of companies whose data security has been breached reads like a Whos Who of big names Home Depot, Sony, Target and Anthem Insurance in the USA and closer to home, K-Mart, David Jones, Aussie Farmers Direct, Aussie Travel Cover, Queensland TAFE and perhaps most infamously, Ashley Madison.

11.01.2022 The liability landscape for the residential construction industry changed on 10 June 2020 with the commencement of the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (NSW). Heres what you need to know about the landmark changes and the implications for insurance. The evacuation of residents from the brand new Opal Tower at Sydney Olympic Park on Christmas Eve 2018 made national headlines. Loud noises and significant cracks appearing on internal support walls saw residents flee i...n what is perhaps the most dramatic example of Australias building compliance crisis. Unfortunately, building defects like this arent unusual. While developers argue that the structural failures that triggered the Opal Tower cracks are an isolated occurrence, building defects are all too common in Australian construction. In the wake of the Opal Tower failure, pressure to clean up the construction industry increased and the NSW Government has now introduced sweeping legislative changes intended to regain consumer confidence in the construction industry.

06.01.2022 Cyber security breaches have been big news over the last few years and cyber crime is on the rise. It seems barely a day goes by where the media isnt reporting yet another major hack somewhere in the world. Its all too easy to think the potential for a cyber security breach in your business is a distant threat. But its not. [ 498 more words. ] http://www.emjayib.com.au/cyber-crime/

03.01.2022 The recent floods in Lismore wreaked havoc as the water ran straight through the Central Business District. Taking with it furniture and other debris as it smashed through the street, having a devastating financial effect on uninsured homes and smaller businesses. Though schemes had been recommended after the 2011 Queensland floods to help the uninsured after natural disasters as such, they are yet to have been put into action despite the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of infrastructure and stock continuing to be lost.
