Risk Culture: attitudes and behaviours

Risk culture is all about the attitudes and behaviours towards risk within your business. How you think and feel about risk-taking and the risk-taking practices in your business all come together to make up your culture. This is a big people issue, which can have big implications for your business.

A good risk culture is one where people are:

  • Accountable
  • Informed
  • Transparent
  • Objective
  • Comfortable speaking up
  • Ethical
  • Co-operative and compliant with standards/regulations
  • Responsive, flexible and innovative

Most importantly, a good risk culture is defined by a great ‘tone at the top’!
