RISK & PEOPLE SOLUTIONS FOR EDUCATION

As your risk and people partner, we allow your educational institution to remain protected, your staff and students to thrive, and you to stay focused on your mission to educate and inspire future generations.

Educational institutions share a common mission: to provide high-quality education that empowers students with the knowledge, skills, and values to positively impact their lives, careers, and communities.

However, maintaining the delivery of this mission has become an increasingly delicate balancing act.

Your drive to attract and retain top teaching talent, uphold world-class faculty standards, and invest in modern infrastructure now competes with the mounting pressures of growing liabilities, unpredictable external risks, and the relentless demands to remain financially sustainable.

Lockton is by your side

This is where the right partner in people and risk becomes essential. You need a partner who understands what’s at stake — someone who can consistently balance, protect, and help you navigate your competing priorities.

Lockton’s specialized education team exists for this very reason. With us by your side, you get a partner who can holistically guide you through the risk and workforce challenges you face, so nothing gets in the way of your mission.
