Risk Outlook 2022
PREDICTION ONE
Covid-19, Long Covid, & mental health, will be primary employee productivity disruptors in 2022: Escalating absenteeism and continuity issues
PREDICTION TWO
The infodemic will continue to exacerbate the complex nature of protecting people, while the duty of care obligations are reshaped by new health & safety measures, employee expectations, & regulatory compliance
PREDICTION THREE
Pandemic-disrupted activities will reach a degree of stability by 2023, as organisations utilise health & security risk management as a competitive advantage: supporting employee retention, and willingness to return to activities including business travel
PREDICTION FOUR
Organisations risk being caught off-guard by rapidly changing security environments, as civil disorder and geopolitical volatility will rise above pre-pandemic levels
PREDICTION FIVE
Climate change will increase the frequency and impact of climate-sensitive hazards, such as infectious diseases, extreme weather events, and socioeconomic tensions
