Reduce Health and Security Incidents

A PREVENTATIVE APPROACH TO REDUCING WORKFORCE RISK

The importance of limiting risk exposure and reducing health or security incidents is increasing, with governments around the world asking organisations not only to protect employee health and safety, but promote it. 

With mental health and wellbeing awareness on the rise, the failure to address employee wellbeing could trigger a backwards step in productivity and could even result in increased absences. The good news: we see a major shift among employers towards addressing employee wellbeing, especially those who work unconventional shifts and hours.

Beyond the pandemic, organisations are now asking themselves how ready they are to respond to the next major crisis. So, there is a renewed focus on systemic risk. How do organisations put in place mitigation strategies to deal with a natural disaster, the next pandemic or localised social unrest?

The opportunity is great: taking a preventative approach to workforce risk can lead to increased confidence and productivity, reduced incidents, improved safety, and reduced overall costs. However, the task of delivering globally consistent programmes that navigate complex legislation and myriad local regulations can be daunting. This is where we can help.
