What Is Labour & Human Capital Risk?

Labour and human capital risk refers to potential challenges that arise from workforce management, employee relations, and labour market dynamics. Key factors include:

• Labour rights & compliance: Ensuring adherence to labour laws, fair pay, workplace safety, and ethical employment practices.

• Workforce stability: Managing turnover, skills gaps, and talent shortages.

• Employee relations & social risks: Addressing union activity, strikes, grievances, or social unrest affecting operations.

• Human capital sustainability: Maintaining workforce engagement, diversity, and inclusion to drive long-term organisational success.

Failure to manage these risks can affect productivity, reputation, regulatory compliance, and long-term competitiveness.
