Carol explains how Pleiades saves money and generates profit. She tells of the challenges of automotive risk management and new risks that arise.

[2:22] August is nearly here. August is National Traffic Awareness Month here in the U.S. This is a time when an increased number of vehicles are on the road, including fleets. Today's guest, Carol Fritszche, is the Corporate Risk Manager for Subaru. Some RIMS members know Carol from the RIMS Delaware Valley Chapter, where she is a member. [2:44] Justin met Carol Fritzsche years ago at a RIMS event and Justin has always been fascinated by Carol's work. Justin outlines today's conversation about Carol's responsibilities at Subaru, how she helps drive a culture of safety, and the satisfaction she gets from working with captives. [3:11] Justin welcomes Carol Fritzsche to RIMScast. Carol has been at Subaru for 10 years. She calls it a great job at a great company. She started at Subaru as an intern in risk management, left for a year-and-a-half to work for an insurance broker, and came back to Subaru. [4:37] Carol mentions the amazing number of parts and the details that go into manufacturing a car, where the end-user just opens the door and turns on the ignition. [5:26] As Corporate Risk Manager, Carol buys corporate insurance. Subura also has a captive about 35 years old that insures a lot of Subaru's risk, including the fleet, general liability, worker's comp., marine, and extended warranty. Carol is also on the underwriting side for the captive. Subaru Corporate Risk Management has 10 members. [6:38] Carol notes differences within the risk management space at Subaru. Subaru of America is the marketing and distribution arm of Subaru Corporation in Japan manufactures the vehicles. Carol marvels at vehicle design. [7:52] Justin refers to American Auto as a good look at what not to do in risk management. It's an Office-like comedy about how not to run an automotive company. [8:15] One reason Justin invited Carol to RIMScast is that August is National Traffic Awareness Month in the U.S. [8:41] Subaru's captive, Pleiades Insurance Company, Ltd., insures the Subaru auto fleet of over 1,200 vehicles that employees and their family members drive for business and personal use. Pleiades is very focused on driver safety with strict criteria on who is allowed to drive. They don't allow cell phone use at all, even hands-free, in the vehicles. [9:47] Pleiades penalizes drivers for getting a cell phone ticket. Pleiades is very concerned about drunk driving. If you get a DUI or DWI, Subaru suspends you from the program for seven years. If you're out and you drink, you can expense getting an Uber instead of driving home. [12:03] Carol tells her children who drive, we know you're a safe driver but it doesn't matter how safe you are, you have to worry about everyone else on the road around you. Carol's favorite Subaru commercial is “We Survived.” The commercials come from testimonials sent in by Subaru customers. [13:28] Pleiades constantly monitors its claims history, seeing what is the major cause of loss and how much damage is being caused. The vehicles in the fleet are newer, so most of them have Subaru EyeSight. It stops the car from colliding with something. If the car is in an accident, though, it's a little more expensive to fix!

[17:03] Subaru fleet vehicles have the in-vehicle technology STARLINK that allows Subaru to track vehicles if they happen to be stolen. Customers can call in to activate STARLINK to see where their vehicle is. They have to verify they are the owner. [17:48] The Risk Management department focuses on insurance and loss control. The product side is managed by Subaru Manufacturing. Carol's Risk Management department collaborates with the technology and product departments. Her primary focus is on loss prevention and loss mitigation. [19:10] Carol went to school at Temple for risk management and insurance. There “was maybe a paragraph on captive insurance in the textbook.” It was never brought up again. When she started at Subaru it was exciting to work on the day-to-day operations of the captive. [19:37] The captive started when auto insurance was in a hard market and it was very difficult and expensive for Subaru to get auto insurance for its fleet. Subaru knows the risks better than the insurance companies do, so it makes sense for them to insure the fleet themselves. [20:07] Subaru has a large fleet with a lot of people driving but their loss experience is very favorable and it's been very profitable for the captive. Carol takes ownership of a lot of the success because of the safety policies and procedures risk management has put in place through the years. [20:55] Carol loves the RIMS Delaware Valley Chapter and seeing all the familiar faces and interesting topics when she goes to a meeting. Philadelphia is an insurance city. A lot of insurance brokers are headquartered and insurance companies have major offices there. The plane from Philadelphia to RISKWORLD is packed with insurance people! [22:21] Carol's advice to anyone applying to the automotive risk sector: “The risk management world is … always changing. There's always a new risk emerging. When people hear ‘risk management,' they think ‘insurance.' They think it's boring. … It's not. It's so much more. Specifically auto. It's so interesting to me, seeing it from the client side…” [22:53] “...but also, because we have the captive, seeing it from the carrier side, as well. I review the risk from the underwriting side and I price it out and I design the coverages, but also, on the other side, I see the claims and I can build policies around it.” [23:34] One policy in place when Carol started is for teenage drivers, a major driver of claims. To drive a fleet vehicle, teenage drivers must have 10 hours of behind-the-wheel training before they get to drive a fleet vehicle. [23:44] Justin takes a defensive driving course online every three years. [24:02] Justin comments on the great safety tips for National Traffic Awareness Month. He hopes to see Carol at RISKWORLD 2024 in San Diego. She thinks she can make it work to get a week in San Diego! [24:20] “Special thanks to Carol Fritzsche for joining me today on RIMScast.

Travel Advisor Sharon Williams info@onelovectnt.com https://onelovectnt.com (215) 690-1576 I started my career in the travel industry as an avid traveler excited to explore the world at every opportunity!  Through my many vacations I became an expert on the consumer aspect of travel from customer service to accommodations to finances associated with travel. In order to improve my personal travel experiences, I started to do research on the travel industry.  This initial hobby turned into a passion to help advance the travel industry having both a customer’s vantage points and professional knowledge.  It was then that I embarked upon the formal training to become a certified travel agent.  I started my own travel agency, 1 Love Cultural Tours and Travel, LLC and have assisted many fellow travel enthusiasts to make some of their most treasured memories on the trips I coordinated for them.  I have recently had the honor of being appointed Membership Chairperson of the Delaware Valley Chapter of ASTA.  In this role I am now performing an integral role in political advocacy for travel for both consumers and agents.  This role has opened a whole new perspective of the travel industry affirming me a wealth of knowledge to utilize with my own travel agency.  I have the tools to be your best personal advocate to help ensure the best travel experiences of your life!  Other than my own continued life journeys, it is my greatest pleasure knowing I have assisted others to have lifelong cherished memories directly related to my assistance!

In this podcast, Flaster/Greenberg PC, a law firm headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with offices in Egg Harbor Township, Morristown, Trenton, Vineland, Philadelphia, PA and Wilmington, DE, is pleased to present a panel discussion from DELVACCA, the Delaware Valley Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel. Program title:  "A River Runs Through It:  Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware Employment Laws & Issues" Speakers: Michael Homans, Labor and Employment shareholder, Flaster/Greenberg P.C. Wanda Flowers, Chief Counsel, Sunoco, Inc. Nori Sue Fey, General Counsel, Bayada Nurses, West Deptford, NJ Mary Tiernan,   Program Analyst for the EEOC Only the Delaware River separates NJ,PA and DE geographically, but they are worlds apart in their laws regulating the workplace. NJ places greater burdens and restrictions on employers, while providing employees with many additional remedies and causes of action. PA provides employees with fewer causes of action, but does present greater risks and liabilities as to some areas of employment law -- such as wage payment and collection. And it's a "small wonder" that DE, just down the river, has its own set of rules, too.  Further muddying the waters are the procedural and administrative differences in initiating employment discrimination claims in each jurisdiction. This panel discussion identified key areas of concern and helps counsel to companies with operations in all three states navigate the variations in state law.
