Understanding and evaluating dynamic people risk exposures is a top priority for business leaders who want to turn vulnerabilities into strengths. Employee health and benefits plans can be used strategically to manage a range of threats, while helping protect employees and improve business performance.

While people are an organization’s most important strength, they can bring significant risk to your business if not properly managed. Never before has it been so crucial that HR and risk management break down silos and work together to protect, equip, and motivate this critical asset.

Helping you overcome your greatest challenges

It’s never been more urgent to tackle people related risk. We consider the likelihood and impact of people risks to help organizations identify and prioritize the people-related threats that are most important to them, and take the appropriate action.

Health and safety

Workforce exhaustion and deteriorating mental health are growing employer concerns. Business impacts include low productivity, escalating benefits spend, and damage to employment value proposition and brand.

Governance and financial

70% of firms say governance and financial risks are a serious threat. Without processes and controls, costly mistakes happen, including uninsurable benefits and unexpected post-employment liabilities.

Accelerated digitization

Sophisticated cybercrimes have pushed cybersecurity up the C-suite agenda. Breaches due to poor vendor and people management processes can cause severe business interruption and brand damage.

Talent practices

Environmental and social

Businesses say that their top environment and social risks come from the environment, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and labor and employee relations.
