WEBINAR | RISK OUTLOOK 2022 | SCOTLAND
REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR HERE
Are you prepared for the coming year's complex risk outlook?  Please join us as we forecast the major risks for 2022, underpinned by extensive research from a survey of around a thousand risk professionals across 75 countries conducted by Ipsos MORI, and based on the expertise of external specialists and our own health and security teams - together with the local and industry-specific knowledge of our own experts based in Aberdeen and London.

Our Medical Director, Dr Stuart Scott, and Head of Mental Health, Resilience and Wellbeing, Carolyn Taylor, based in Aberdeen,  together with Harriet Brennan, Security Manager for the UK and Ireland, based in London, will give their predictions for the coming year in a session hosted by David Ellis, General Manager, Scotland.

The challenges posed by the arrival of the omicron variant and the reintroduction of some restrictions remind us how volatile the world is.  Join our panel as they discuss and advise on how organisations can best prepare for and reduce the impact of this and other types of disruption - looking at, for example, the challenges and duty of care implications of hybrid working; how to ensure the safety of your employees when they travel for work or return to the workplace; the 'Great Resignation'; and of course the mental health effects of the pandemic and resultant societal changes.

The webinar is expected to last around an hour and will be followed by a Q&A.
