RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk Management
Risk management is the systematic and proactive process of identifying, assessing, and controlling potential threats to an organizations assets, operations, and overall success. HR policies and practices can significantly impact risk exposure. For example, ineffective recruitment practices can lead to hiring the wrong personnel, increasing the risk of fraud, misconduct, and safety incidents. Effective HR management can greatly lower organizational risk. Implementing strong performance management systems, training programs, and employee engagement activities can help to build a good and productive work environment while reducing risks and boosting organizational success.

- Developing and implementing robust HR policies and procedures.
