The Impact of Health and Wellbeing on People Risk and Organisational Resilience

This event is for BRC Members.


Poor employee health and wellbeing can increase employer liability, health and safety exposure, absenteeism, and human error, while reducing productivity.

These pressures contribute to wider operational risk, including cyber vulnerability, where fatigue, stress, or delayed recovery affect decision-making and response time.

The BRC and Marsh invite you to a webinar on the connection between employee health and wellbeing, people risk, and organisational resilience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How poor health and wellbeing drive liability, absence, and productivity risk
  • The link between human error, fatigue, and cyber exposure
  • How delayed access to healthcare can slow recovery and increase organisational strain
  • Practical steps to align people risk and enterprise risk strategies
