Cyber security breaches are overwhelmingly the greatest staff-related risk for a financial services business, according to a survey of Channel Island employers.
Employers surveyed at Walkers' three-day virtual employment law conference also revealed that over three-quarters of businesses had “significantly” changed their employment policies as a result of the impact of covid.
The results are among the findings of polls of senior HR professionals and business leaders at the conference, titled ‘Equipping the Board: Using Employment Law Tools to Navigate Risks and Drive Success’, which was held in October.
The conference focused on employment law tools for boards and senior managers, included a pre-recorded warm-up session and three live webinars on good governance, regulatory expectations and future-proofing your business.
The key findings of the survey include:
Daniel Read, Senior Counsel in Walkers’ Jersey employment law team, said: “The experience of the past two years has clearly changed attitudes to working from home among both employers and employees.
“It is interesting to see that so few employers see it as a major staff-related risk. The real point to note is that so many employees are raising hybrid-working arrangements during the interview process – those results in particular would have been very different pre-pandemic."
