Aviva launches online risk management education platform

Aviva has launched a new digital learning platform aimed at helping businesses strengthen their risk management capabilities.

The platform – Aviva risk training solutions (Arts) – is now available to all Aviva commercial clients and currently features 25 training courses, with a further 50 in development.

The firm said the courses are based on over 250 of its loss prevention standards and cover key risk areas such as flooding, cyber attacks, lithium-ion battery safety and sustainability.

The mobile-first platform was created in partnership with technology company SafetyCulture and was planned to accompany the firm’s existing risk management platform, an online risk management portal.

Aviva said the Arts platform will eventually support its planned global risk management solutions (GRMS) initiative, a proposition to connect global risk management practices and deliver “consistent, high-quality risk solutions and offer a leading proposition wherever policies are underwritten globally”.

Everyday culture

According to Alexander Brooks-Sykes, head of strategic sales at SafetyCulture, the platform will help businesses to make “safety and awareness part of everyday culture” and not simply a “compliance exercise”.

Simon Cook, technical account manager at Aviva Risk Management Solutions, added: “By offering our customers free access to high-quality education developed by Aviva’s risk experts, we’re helping them build practical skills and foster proactive risk-management cultures.

“Over 44,000 people have already taken Aviva courses via SafetyCulture’s own platform, demonstrating the growing appetite for accessible, expert-led training.

“This platform reflects a shared ambition to combine trusted risk expertise with intuitive technology, helping businesses build confidence and capability in the face of evolving risks such as flooding and get ready for a more resilient future.”
