Human Resources Risk Management

Course Summary

Businesses are changing all the time. Change is a positive thing and is required to keep growing and increasing profits and turnover. However, change always comes with risks. These might be financial risks or risks to quality, products, or processes. 


It’s important that human resources professionals understand the risks in their area due to company change and the implications on employees, processes, and the wider business. 


Human resources can also help businesses identify risks using reporting, employee tracking, and comparisons with competitor businesses. They can also respond to on-site risks regarding health and safety or employee recruitment, management, and retention. 


To fully fulfil the HR role, professionals in this area must evaluate business performance against key performance indicators and ISO standards to understand where the business needs to be heading in the future. They will also need to forecast and avoid or mitigate risk elements along the way to maintain company success and profits. 


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
 

  • Evaluate the current processes and procedures and understand their efficiency. 
  • Develop accurate reports and understand how these affect the future of the business. 
  • Create regular audit processes and understand how the business is changing. 
  • Review the previous reporting and understand how lessons could be learned from past performance. 
  • Gain information on financial risks based on employee turnover, training, performance management, and salaries.
  • Use this information to develop a long-term action plan. 
  • Develop a business continuity plan if something goes wrong. 
  • Reassess your company roadmap and pinpoint potential risk areas or single points of failure. 
  • Develop presentations and project plans to mitigate risk elements and present them to stakeholders and partners. 

This course is designed for anyone in human resources responsible for identifying risk areas across the business. It would be most beneficial for:
 

  • Business Owners
  • Directors
  • Operations Managers
  • HR Professionals
  • HR Managers
  • HR Auditors
  • HR Administrators
  • Supervisors
  • Recruitment Professionals
  • Employee Retention Professionals
  • Risk Assessors 

This course uses various adult learning methods to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will view presentations and videos which discuss the importance of risk assessments during periods of change. They will conduct group discussions to fully understand risk areas within their current processes and use the learned tools and techniques to develop a roadmap for the future and a business continuity plan to cover all bases. Finally, they will discuss their plans for change, reasoning, and risk mitigation methods with the group to gain feedback and understand further areas for development.
