Treatment of Risk: Monitoring and Continuous Improvement
Introduction to Risk Treatment
- The third stage of risk management focuses on treatment, where technical staff propose measures and strategies to address identified risks.
Types of Measures and Strategies
Preventive Measures
- The first type aims to reduce the likelihood of risk occurrence through preventive actions targeting identified causes.
- Three strategies are suggested for increasing awareness about unethical practices:
- Awareness campaigns and training sessions.
- Optimizing organizational design with regulatory measures.
- Behavioral adjustments through low-cost interventions.
Mitigation Measures
- The second type enhances the entity's response capacity if a risk materializes, focusing on mitigation to lessen impact.
- Proposed strategies include:
- Immediate response activation via crisis management protocols for severe cases.
- Developing contingency plans to manage medium and long-term effects.
- Demonstrating due diligence by generating evidence of preventive measure implementation.
Implementation Considerations
- Strategies may vary in complexity and can be applied together; guidance is provided on selecting appropriate measures based on previously identified causes and effects.
Example Application
- For instance, addressing personal relationship predispositions as a cause could involve raising awareness about potential negative consequences through training on conflict identification and management.
Final Stage: Monitoring and Continuous Improvement
Importance of Follow-Up
- This final stage verifies the implementation of prevention and mitigation measures using established control mechanisms.
Actionable Steps for Monitoring
- Prevention or mitigation measures should incorporate action verbs like verify, supervise, contrast, review, ensure, etc., detailing how they will be implemented along with verification methods, responsible units, and timelines.
Continuous Analysis Requirement
- Ongoing monitoring is crucial; analyzing information ensures that implemented measures are effective.
