The stakeholders can be any person or entity, who influence and can be influenced by the company’s risk
management process. In this environment, stakeholders are classified into two categories, Internal Stakeholders,
and External Stakeholders. Internal stakeholders refer to the individuals and parties, within the BizOp’s and external
stakeholders represent outside parties, which affect or get affected by, the process activities.
When the company identifies the problems and the solution, it should be communicated to the relevant parties
in order to take the necessary actions. The following process may use by the company for the communication.
Customers They are the People who make small Email communication
purchases of BizOp’s products. They Newsletters
are important to get feedback
The company can use the following communication techniques to invite stakeholders for participation
- Open and one-to-one meetings - Meetings will continue to play an important role after the risk
management strategy is in place, as part of the continual monitoring and review of the strategy. Getting everyone in
one room is possibly the best way to start the risk management process, so you can explain face to face what it is
about and why you are doing it. This initial meeting should give people the opportunity to ask questions and provide
input into the process.
- Emails or official letters - Your notes can be distributed through your newsletter (hard copy or online),
through email, in flyers or posted on your noticeboard. You should include the results (or a summary) of any
brainstorming session and decisions made at meetings, so everyone is kept aware of what's going on.
- Training and feedback - It's important that strong communication links are established between the risk
management sub-committee and your board - regular reports should be included in training sessions.
In accordance with the BizOp’s Enterprises risk management policy following procedures describes the
organisation’s standard process for risk management. BizOp’s risk management policy committee and all employees
are responsible for ensure risk management principles.
- Risk identification
- Risk rating
- Risk controls
- Risk monitoring and reporting
Risk Identification
Although the definition of scope and framework are fundamental for the establishment of Risk Management, they
are independent from the particular structure of the management process, methods and tools to be used for the
implementation.
- Death or injury
- Financial loss to BizOp’s
- Damage to BizOp’s reputation or adverse media coverage
- Damage to the physical environment, including land, water or air quality
- Failure to meet regulatory or legislative requirements.
Risk rating
After all risk events are identified, risks shall be assessed to determine the overall ranking for the risk. Risks are
ranked in the following four categories:
- Extreme
- High
- Medium
- Low
The ranking of a risk determines:
- The nature of further action that is required
- The urgency with which further action should be undertaken
- The reporting requirements for the risk, including who the risk is reported to
- How the risk is monitored.
All risks within BizOp’s are ranked using a common scale that assesses:
- The potential consequences if the risk were to occur
- The likelihood of BizOp’s being impacted in that way.
Risk controls
When the company identifies the problems and the solution, it should be communicated to the relevant
stakeholders in order to take the necessary actions. The following process may use by the company for the
communication.
- If any problem identified by an employee, the problem and the solution identified should be communicated
to the immediate supervisor to take the necessary actions. The employee may use formal or informal
communication technique to convey the message.
- If the decision can be made at that level, the relevant supervisor should take the necessary actions. If not, it
should be escalated to the next level.
- Depending on nature and the impact to the company from the problem, the decision may take at the Board
of Directors and communicated to the lower levels of the company.
One effective way to monitor operational risks is to add those risks with the highest scores to the risk schedule with
an assigned risk manager. This allows managers to see when these risks need to be monitored more closely and
when to expect the risk manager to provide status updates at the bi-weekly management meetings.

Task 4
a) Implementation strategy
b) Monitoring strategy
c) Evaluation strategy
The managing directors should evaluate the progress of the implementation plan and identify any
requirements for changes and improvements. And it is useful ranking them once it’s identified. This can be
done by considering the consequence and probability of each risk. The team of management should consult
their teams and any other relevant stake holders in making the decision.
BSB51915 Diploma of Leadership and Management
The evaluation can be financial evaluation, market evaluation including consumer and competitor
evaluation, regulatory impact assessment and industry changes. Based on the observations made, the senior
management should make decision to change the implementation activities and intervention in the
implementation plan.
Employee participation for the risk evaluation process activities is important for the BizOp’s in this stage.
Achievement of the organizational objectives will depend on the participation of the employees.
Therefore, workplace consultation involves the open exchange of information between senior management
and employees about issues in the workplace to better manage risks. By following the workplace
consultation process and involving employees’ knowledge and experience on a regular basis, better decision
can be made that result in fewer workplace problems.
The following approach may be used by the company in order to maximize the participation of the
employees for the development plan.
- Improved safety culture, in particular a greater respect and openness for health and safety issues as
they arise.
- Employers should consult employees or their representatives if they are:
- Identifying hazards and assessing risks that may harm people
- Making decisions about how to control risks that may cause harm
- Making decisions about the adequacy of the facilities for employee welfare
- Determining the membership of any health and safety committee.
- Making decisions about procedures to:
- Consult with employees on health and safety matters
- Resolve health and safety issues
- Monitor employees’ health and workplace conditions
- Provide information and training.
Proposing changes to the workplace, plant, equipment, substances or other things used in the workplace or
work to be carried out at the workplace that may affect the health and safety of employees.
- When a health and safety matter is identified share information with those affected in a timely
manner and ensure information can be easily understood.
- Give employees a reasonable opportunity to express their views and take those views into account
to help shape decisions.
- Establish both a Health and Safety Committee or hold regular meetings to discuss health and safety
issues in the workplace.
- Involve nominated Health and Safety representatives.
