How are the risks of a company classified?
A company faces three main types of risks:
- Financial risks can be divided into two categories: market and credit;
- Operational or strategic risks include internal and external risk categories;
- Reputational risk arises when negative comments about a company damage its reputation among customers or other stakeholders.
How does an organization manage risk?
We should consider four steps in risk management:
- Risk identification and assessment: the organization must identify the source of the risk and evaluate all the potential effects on the company.
- Evaluation of options for risk management: this phase consists of defining and considering all strategies to contain the risk.
- Controls implementation to reduce or eliminate the risk: the company takes action to prevent the risk turning into losses or reputation damage.
- Monitoring: each organization should have complete control over its production processes, but this does not make it risk-free.
How to create a risk management plan?
A risk management plan is a document that outlines the risks that an organization may face and the actions to mitigate those risks.
It also specifies how these risks will be monitored and evaluated.
A risk management plan can be as simple as a list of risks and mitigation strategies.
Or it can be a detailed document with specific steps for each potential risk.
The ReputationUP team can support your company during all phases of online reputation management, monitoring and improving your brand’s image and preventing any reputational crisis.
Why is risk management important?
Risk management is about protecting the organization from risks.
Risk management is crucial for any organization because it helps identify, assess, and respond to risks.
It also helps in reducing or avoiding losses caused by these risks.
