Are people your best asset? Or as oil spills, collapsed banks, rogue traders, even cruise ships have shown, also your biggest risk?  From the trading room floor to the board room.

Human Capital Risk (HCR) looks at three interlinked dimensions:

1. People Risks - The individual behaviours of your workforce: the way they communicate, the levels of stress, inappropriate use of the internet etc.
2. Organisational Risks - The broader aspects around policies, accepted practices and frameworks
3. Location Risks - Particularly relevant for global organisations

Both People and Organisational risks influence your organisation’s culture and your culture is influenced by both of these risks also.

Offering a vital and new approach to risk, this helps bring together HR and Risk Professionals to get a total risk picture for the business, one that can be closely monitored by the board in the form of HR Governance.

To get your business talking and thinking about Human Capital Risk, our expert researchers have put together a white paper covering both the latest conceptual and practical approaches to HCR.

The paper, Human Capital Risk: Rehumanising the Firm, is split into two sections - People Risks and Organisational Risks - and guides not just HR but also Risk Professionals and senior executives interested in the subject through the key issues.

Designed to minimise commonly neglected but commonly expensive problems like sickness absence and turnover, it also doesn't shy away from raising people risk as a board and brand reputation priority.

The paper is free to download - or click on the front cover. For more information on our HCR services, contact Frankie Close.
