What is HR risk?

What will be an ideal response?


HR risk refers to the uncertainty arising from changes in a wide range of workforce and people-management issues that affect a company's ability to meet its strategic and operating objectives. Such risks typically fall into four main categories: strategic, compliance, operational, and financial risks. With respect to HR technology, the primary concern is operational risks that might impede a firm's ability to meet its operating and strategic objectives. Two key subareas include policies and procedures that define internal controls and vendor management and sourcing. In the digital age, a major area of internal controls is the responsibility to ensure that employees' personal information is protected. Risks run the gamut from the release of sensitive data to the wrong manager to major security breaches or hacks that expose employees' personal information to external, unknown sources.
