Sabrina Segal on Human Risk In The Third Sector

How do charities and not-for-profits manage human risk? Given the risks they face and the limited budgets they have available to them, they’re often incredibly innovative when it comes to risk management and compliance. This means there are lessons for all of us in a resource-constrained environment.On this episode, I’m speaking to Sabrina Segal. She began her career as a lawyer before recognising that working in the third sector — bodies that aren’t public or private sector, in other words, organizations undertaking social activities, like charities or NGOs — was what stimulated her.
In our discussion, we explore the challenges the sector faces and how they go about mitigating the broad range of risks they face. Whether that’s humanitarian charities deploying aid workers into disaster or war zones or even running a charity in a developed country that relies heavily on volunteers. All pose huge challenges from a human risk perspective.To find out more about Sabrina, connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smsegal/For her Tolerable Risk podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9iZWVuZXJzNzY3LnBvZG9tYXRpYy5jb20vcnNzMi54bWwThe Human Risk podcast is a Human Risk production: www.human-risk.com

Om Podcasten

People are often described as the largest asset in most organisations. They are also the biggest single cause of risk. This podcast explores the topic of 'human risk', or "the risk of people doing things they shouldn't or not doing things they should", and examines how behavioural science can help us mitigate it. It also looks at 'human reward', or "how to get the most out of people". When we manage human risk, we often stifle human reward. Equally, when we unleash human reward, we often inadvertently increase human risk.
