About the team

 

People Risk arises when an organization’s people-related decisions, systems, behaviours, and environments do not meet societal expectations, regulatory requirements, or strategic objectives—potentially resulting in harm to individuals, financial or reputational impact, regulatory exposure, or loss of trust.

• Human rights
• Psychological health and safety
• Workplace harassment and violence prevention
• Social impact measurement and reporting
• Regulatory compliance, risk management, and internal audit

People Risk is a rapidly evolving area of risk management shaped by changing regulations, societal expectations, and workforce dynamics—offering an opportunity to drive meaningful and lasting impact for organizations and their people.
