Higher Education

Aon's 2021 Global Risk Management Survey identified the following top three risks for Higher Education:

  • Damage to reputation/brand
  • Cyber attacks/data breach
  • Failure to innovate/ meet customer needs

Today's growing challenges for Higher Education

Leaders in Higher Education institutions are dedicated to providing high-quality yet affordable education - while sustaining the financial health of their organisations. Often, they face severe budgetary pressures and increased threats to reputation that can affect their ability to attract students, faculty and critical funding.

Traditional risk areas such as employers' liability, rising operational costs and safety and security concerns are growing in complexity while areas such as cyber liability, clinical trials, and duty of care requirements add to the burden and cost of insurance and risk management.

In short, institutions need to do more with less, to develop innovative, cost-effective insurance and risk management solutions that address the unique requirements of Higher Education entities.
