Research & Webinar Video: HR Function and Risk Management

  • January 30, 2026

The enterprise risk environment is less about predicting discrete events and more about how organisations anticipate, interpret and contain risk under uncertainty, placing new demands on HR’s role in organisational readiness and resilience.

Drawing on CRF research and insights from senior HR, risk and legal leaders, this report explores how people-related risk is reshaping enterprise risk management and what this means for the HR function.

Sponsored by Bird & Bird and RHR, this report outlines how the enterprise risk landscape is changing and the essential role HR plays in managing risk. It provides insight into: 

  • How and where people-related risk is building, with a particular focus on employee relations, cyber and talent. 
  • The ways HR can detect early signals and influence risk before it escalates. 
  • Practical frameworks and real-world examples that support organisational readiness and decision-making under pressure.
