Human Resources Risk (HR Risk) Chapter
The HR Risk chapter demonstrates an organizational commitment toward how Human Resources strives to be a strategic partner.
The HR Risk Chapter is the first of its kind to be set up in RIMAS.
The activities of the chapter will be organizing workshops, seminars to promote the concept of HR risk management, responsibility, and leadership among our members in the association. HR Risk Management, and the benefits thereof, are better understood and many large companies now have personnel who are specially assigned HR risk management duties. Some companies in fact have established HR risk management divisions in order to provide risk services to their clients in ensuring areas of HR ethics, bias, privacy, and trust are audited and reasonably considered.
There is a bright future for risk management practitioners as the benefits of sound HR risk management strategies become increasingly recognized throughout the business community.
