What do you first think of when you think ‘risk’ in the workplace?

For me, it's sensing something is coming (like you said, around the corner) and using a lens of careful-mindfulness (as @yvonne7 alluded to in the main thread) - these "corners" could also be in the distance or smack you in the face quickly...

Risk comes from a number of aspects - strategic, financial, customer etc... its being careful and mindful, as to what is going on...always being prepared to step back and say that we can do better!!!

its an opportunity to learn, grow and develop- looking ahead to see the potential (both good and bad) and then taking a leap (steps forward to manage/minimise/maximise).

I agree with all the other comments! :slight_smile:

Agree with all of the above. The thing that get's to me most is risk of loosing reputation. I've very wary of this and get concerned often. Must do more work on Continuous Improvement........lol

Oh gosh, 'Risk in the Workplace' can mean so many different things! Physical risk (WHS), psychological risk and emotional risk (particularly when we are working with so many 'interesting' people, risk of Burnout and risk of internal processes not being ideal, risk to our Integrity and reputation as an Organisation.

Agree ditto to above

I agree with Mic....reputational risk can be detrimental to us all. Let's say that Jason goes off the rails (quite possibly really lol) even though we're 100's of kms away the impact on us is very real. Despite the NDIS stating they don't have preferred providers we know they do, so any of us, at any time could affect the organisation and individuals.

Risk management to me in a past life was WHS and always something others didn't want to deal with. I was often the last one standing. It can break a person or an organisation if not monitored well.
