“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This old-fashioned quote has never been more relevant than in the past few years. Society experienced a traumatic upheaval because of the pandemic and social unrest. The overall effects were devastating, and many businesses were rocked to their core. Preventing future chaos suddenly became a priority for leaders across the world. The corporate world was not immune, as companies began to acknowledge many potential threats they may have previously dismissed. Suddenly, the idea of risk management solutions was an urgent topic.
What are the major risks that today’s companies are combatting? Forbes recently listed the top 10: data breaches, climate change, mass resignation, lack of talent, pandemic repercussions, lack of inventory, burnout, inflation, financial crises and failure to innovate. Of course, no sole company experiences all of these threats, nor does one threat apply to every company. Size and scope of work typically affect the dangers a business uniquely faces. Regardless, risks almost always lead to corporate crises, which is why savvy business leaders invest in the best risk management strategies.
