#198 IHAS - Why Involve Employees In Risk Assessment

In this week's show Colin discusses the reasons why it's vital to include the people in your business when it comes to the risk assessment process. KEY TAKEAWAYS Management and leaders often assume that business operations are running along at a steady pace and at a certain level, but this might not always be the case. By involving the people on the front lines in the risk assessment process, we raise everyone's expectations to the same level, which is far more productive.
