Although the acute effects of the pandemic are subsiding in many countries, companies will continue to face significant risks worldwide in 2023. Experts predict that global risks have the potential to lower productivity levels as the cost-of-living crisis and challenging security situation impact employees. This is according to a new risk outlook, \"Risk Outlook 2023,\" from International SOS and the updated world risk map \"Risk Map<\/a> out. These contain data on the medical and security environment of countries around the world with a classification ranging from \"insignificant\" to \"extreme\".<\/p>\r\n

Many of the findings for the 2023 Risk Outlook are based on a survey of 1218 senior employee health and safety professionals in 108 countries. From the DACH region, 108 experts participated. This provides a detailed overview of some of the biggest risks companies will face in 2023. In addition to existing issues, such as mental health, it shows that managers should support their employees in using accurate sources of information as they are affected by constantly changing events in the permanent crisis.<\/p>\r\n

Risk Outlook 2023: The five forecasts from International SOS<\/h3>\r\n

Based on the results of the Risk Outlook survey, the Workforce Resilience Council and the organization's own data, International SOS has identified the top five trends that organizations need to be aware of in 2023:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Importance of news\/information in decision making: The influence of up-to-date, trustworthy, accurate, and actionable information or news on business decision-making continues to grow.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Adapting to the \"permanent crisis\": Companies must adapt to a permanent crisis with geopolitical shifts, socio-economic challenges and increasing polarization.<\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Planning the unplannable - Business travel and overseas trips are slowly returning to their old levels, but are being done with far more caution and care. Business travelers want more support.<\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Climate change and other events: Climate change or its consequences and other circumstances, such as epidemics and pandemics, increase health risks with far-reaching effects. A comprehensive approach is needed for companies to ensure employee health.<\/li>\r\n\t
  5. The 'happy at work' equation (A+B+C)-D: This is the new equation for satisfaction at work. A new era has dawned in terms of mental health at work.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Consideration of the effects of geopolitical changes<\/h3>\r\n

    The Russia\/Ukraine conflict was the defining security issue in 2022, illustrating that geopolitics and the threat of interstate conflict are back on the corporate risk agenda. The conflict will certainly continue to have an impact in 2023. As a result, companies must learn to effectively manage the changing global risk environment. Geopolitical volatility will also spread beyond Russia\/Ukraine over the next twelve months, as the growing rift between Russia and the West will impact other conflicts and exacerbate long-standing geopolitical tensions. In addition to the unmistakable divide between Russia and the West, competition between the U.S. and China will increasingly dominate the geopolitical and economic landscape. Best practices for companies are to continually review the likelihood and potential impact to elicit the potential consequences for their business and employees.<\/p>\r\n

    Many crisis management teams are currently learning to deal with a state of \"permanent crisis\". In 2023, it will be an important task for companies to provide the right level of training, investment and support for these teams, as experts have already pointed to a high level of crisis management fatigue. Overcoming this state of fatigue is key to the transition from permanent crisis to crisis resilience. Companies that have effectively implemented lessons learned from the past two years will benefit from more robust capabilities to cope with challenges. Dealing with the ongoing crisis in the right way is proving to be an extremely important issue: numerous experts surveyed predict that geopolitical trends will have a negative impact on productivity levels:<\/p>\r\n

    Increasing social unrest<\/h3>\r\n

    The new Risk Outlook also shows how many of the experts surveyed believe social unrest will be a major cause of lost productivity in 2023. According to the report, 48 percent of respondents predict that cost-of-living pressures will impact domestic workers, and one-third (33 percent) expect unrest to affect business travelers. As a result, social unrest will be a major item on executives' agendas in 2023 - the problem is extremely multifaceted and impacts businesses and employees in many ways. Some issues and key points that executives should consider in this context are:<\/p>\r\n
