RMR Update

Although summer is the busiest time for PDRMA members with programs, pools and plenty of visitors, what you keep doing behind the scenes becomes even more important as activities at your agency increase.

“Everyone got off to a good start with their RMR prep,” says Tim Lenac, PDRMA Risk Management Services Supervisor, “and now we’re just doing quick check-ins to make sure everyone is on schedule to meet their SMART Goal deadlines.” And since 25 percent of incentive payments are based on meeting those deadlines, as well as completing all agreed upon activities, it’s important to keep moving forward on these items. Once an agency completes their current SMART Goal, they need to develop a new one within 90 days.

Keeping in Touch

“It’s important to stay in touch throughout the summer,” adds Lenac. “Email your consultant as you meet your SMART Goal deadlines and update your activity in the Property/Casualty Information Platform (PCIP).”

If you haven’t already scheduled an on-site visit, you’ll be hearing from your Risk Management Consultant soon to arrange that and begin working toward completing your agency’s Essentials of Risk Management Form (ERMF), which is due Dec. 1.

Working with the ERMF — and More

Within a week of the on-site visit, PDRMA will assign the ERMF to your agency in PCIP. Members should review the preparation guide prior to their meeting and gather supporting materials for their Risk Management Consultant to review. “Please do not upload support documentation to the PCIP; email your consultant all support documentation,” Lenac notes. “Remember that Dec. 1 is the final date to provide ERMF documentation.”

Remember that the timelines and deadlines are tied to the RMR incentives. “We discussed incentive changes during each agency’s Kickoff Meeting,” he adds. Up to 75 percent of the total incentive payment is tied to an agency’s overall ranking on the ERMF.
