The goal of establishing a prosperous business with a
safe work environment that reflects effective risk management strategies begins
with the people who make your company function — your employees.
It doesn’t matter how many people you employ because every employees can
represent some risk — usually unintentional or accidental but occasionally with
intent. So your risk management program must include processes that will prepare
the company for any employee-related liability. This process begins when you
start your search for candidates, continues through the hiring process and only
ends for each employee when he/she leaves your company.
