Lawson Delaney recently hosted the latest instalment of our Risk Roundtable luncheon with the topic of “The Evolving role of HR in Mitigating Risk”. We were joined by a mix of Risk and HR professionals from diverse sectors such as Automotive, Banking, Funds Management, Health, Industrial, Logistics, and a diverse Mutual.

Given two of our attendees have current involvement in Pandemic committees, we opened the discussion by looking at how the outbreak of the Coronavirus is affecting business operations from both the Risk & HR point of view. All present agreed that the issues people and employers faced were wide-ranging from the health and wellbeing of staff through to the financial risk of the impact of the disruption to the supply chain.
