Employee Risk Management : How to Protect Your Business Reputation and Reduce Your Legal Liability

Employee Risk Management presents a straightforward, legally-grounded process that enables employers to identify, manage and reduce the potential threats that come with every employee -- as well as with anyone else who works for the organization, including contractors, volunteers, interns and temps. Chapters cover everything from recruitment to the end of the employment relationship. Readers learn how to protect against threats as diverse as: managing employee social media use in order to safeguard business reputation; the new problems that an aging workforce will present over the coming years; and concerns about remote working such as reduced productivity, data security and data protection risks. While reference is made to UK employment law, all principles and ideas in the book can be applied to other jurisdictions. As well as offering an unbeatable practical guide to employee risk management, it brings HR professionals and senior managers up-to-date with cutting edge developments in risk culture.
