HUMAN RESOURCES RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Management in HR means assessing and addressing the potential risks of having a workforce. These risks are related to the way you recruit, retain and manage employees and other types of workers, as well as the behavior of employees.

There is no way to avoid risk in company. However, in risk management, it is to anticipate and prepare companies for potential losses in order to minimize the consequences. Companies must apply risk management to all their activities.
