About the book

Employee Risk Management presents a straightforward, legally-grounded process that will enable 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. It covers everything from recruitment through to the end of the employment relationship. Readers will learn how to protect against threats as diverse as: managing employee social media use, an ageing workforce, remote working risks, data security and data protection.

Online supporting resources for this book include downloadable whitepapers and a social media checklist template.

Reviews

Jo Ayoubi, Business Development Director, Track 360

As a business owner and employer, this book has expanded my understanding of employee risk beyond the legal issues. It is comprehensive and far-ranging, taking in organization and national cultures, company processes, social media and employee engagement and well-being. What makes it really great is that I will keep it on my shelf as a ready reference and checklist on all employee risk issues.

This book is witness to the changes to working practices that we, as a media company, have experienced first-hand in recent years. Board-level commitment for project managing future potential risks is critical for success in this area, which is why, with the help of this guide, I have taken leadership on this issue within my own company. Helen's message is loud and clear; if you don't apply her risk management techniques, you are overlooking potential cost savings, of which there are copious examples in the text.

Midwest Book Review, The Bookwatch, The Business Shelf

Its focus is on a range of individual and collective threats to workforce routines and management, teaching businesses how to protect against a wide range of issues from managing employee social media use to maintain business reputation to remote working challenges and data security in the workplace. A top recommendation for any size business with employees.
