Next Step in Career

Lynn

Hello,

I'm looking to move to a Senior HR Officer role.  I have come across a role that I am really interested in, but I am stumped when it is asking me for my 'understanding of risk management'.  It goes on to ask for management of changing priorities, which I understand.  I haven't come across (at my current level) or heard any of my managers talk about risk management in relation to HR before and wasn't sure how to example this.  I also don't remember covering this on my CIPD Level 5.  I appreciate that risks would be what would the plan be if all your staff walk out, but I always thought this was at Director level?    Not sure how this would be put into a STAR example for a CV either. 

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks :-)

  • I think it's basically looking outside (PESTLE) and understanding issues that could arise. As cited above, we deal with EU nationals as soon as the vote for Brexit happened we lost a few skilled workers-my priorities were to provide workshops explaining/ guiding them on how they could apply for settled status. I also had to work out who was definitely leaving the UK. Through surveys etc. We also deal with placing staff within (what could be politically volatile situations). With certain recent events, I had to ensure employees were safe and manage any potential issues that could arise. It's being one step ahead. Knowing you have procedures or policy in place that could deal with a risk your company could encounter.. I hope that helps.
