Do machines or people drive your business?

The first things that are often protected are fixed assets in your business: the premises, furniture, machinery, vehicles and computers.

In fact, in the majority of cases, not only are such things insured but there are both maintenance programs and contingency plans in place to prevent or mitigate any potential disruption.

The question is, could the same be said for your people?

What is people risk?

At the heart of every business, large or small, lies the most valuable yet unpredictable asset: its people. People risk refers to the human factors that could impact and harm your business. From a demotivated workforce with low engagement to the loss of a key person. Your people have the power to enhance but also damage your business’ performance and reputation.

Protecting people protects your business

Against the backdrop of the current economic climate, the pressure of rising wages, and the war for talent, being an employer of choice is becoming increasingly difficult with 45 per cent of HR professionals reporting employee retention as their biggest challenge in 2022 in a survey by SD Workz.

With diverse and multi-generational workforces, implementing or adapting your people risk strategy to cater for your employees’ individual needs is key – a one size fits all approach is ill-advised. Understanding the make-up of your workforce is essential to generate the best engagement and outcomes for them, and your business.
