“This book is witness to the changes to working practices that we, as a media company, have experienced first-hand in recent years. Board-level commitment for project managing future potential risks is critical for success in this area, which is why, with the help of this guide, I have taken leadership on this issue within my own company. Helen’s message is loud and clear; if you don’t apply her risk management techniques, you are overlooking potential cost savings, of which there are copious examples in the text.” Martin Attis ACA, Finance Director, Sundial Magazines Ltd The concept of employee risk management comes into its own by focusing on how the actions of employees and others within and associated with an organization, such as the board, individual directors, contractors and agency staff, can be damaging to an employer. It is not limited just to compliance issues, but covers a wide range of threats and vulnerabilities that can originate from the workforce, either individuals or collectively. Employee risk management works by identifying, assessing and prioritizing any risks and then devising a strategy to eliminate, reduce or manage them. It covers everything from recruitment through to the end of the employment relationship. Readers will learn how to protect against threats as diverse as: managing employee social media use in order to safeguard business reputation; the new problems that an ageing workforce will present over the coming years; and concerns about remote working such as reduced productivity, data security and data protection risks. Employee Risk Management is an indispensable, practical and legally up-to-the-minute guide for HR professionals and executives, offering best-practice advice on how to protect your business reputation and reduce your legal liability.
