Main benefits
The purpose of the Employee Risk Culture Survey is to identify actions which can be taken to improve the effectiveness of an organisation’s risk culture and risk management practices. Issues of risk clarity and alignment, risk identification and controls, risk resources and embedding risk and communications and accountability are addressed. Employees are taken through a comprehensive range of issues relevant to risk culture in a structured way.
The benefits of using the Employee Risk Culture Survey include:
- many issues that may not otherwise be included as part of a risk culture review are considered
- employees consider a comprehensive range of issues in a consistent way by responding to the same survey statements in the same order and using the same response scale
- employee views are equally weighted and such views are not biased or impacted by the views or emotions of other employees or consultants
- employees are able to balance their consideration of each issue against the other issues in a well designed survey that takes less than 15 minutes
- an Importance and Performance response rating system and a corresponding gap analysis enables the prioritisation of issues
- by including appropriate survey demographics the risk culture of different areas of the organisation can be determined
- the survey is independently carried out by Insync Surveys, which offers anonymity to respondents and encourages candid responses.
This survey is a very useful, cost effective and unobtrusive way to quickly highlight possible issues of concern and issues that may need further attention. The survey does not replace the need to take appropriate action in relation to issues highlighted, nor does it override the need to take other steps to review and improve risk culture.
