The onboarding experience

Your first 60 days is focused on onboarding. We believe in rolling out the welcome mat to you and your employees, helping you become settled, and making sure you are familiar with the full power of Risk Strategies.

We want your employees to be excited to become a part of the team. At the same time, you still have a business to run. Getting to know the expanded set of capabilities, expertise, and resources we have to offer is why you joined us in the first place.

Our goal during onboarding is to unlock the potential of our partnership.

Our philosophy

We’ve learned a lot about onboarding and integration over more than 150 acquisitions.

Our team is guided by an approach we call bi-lateral integration. We want to unleash the best of your organization and layer it with the best of Risk Strategies.

We respect your firm’s culture and history. We joined forces to create something better together, not change who you are.
