Join Stéphane Pilauer, Head - Human Risk Management and Due Diligence Programs at SGS, for an expert webinar on the November 11, 2026 at 11 am (Dubai Time).
People risk can affect trust, compliance, operational resilience and reputation long before an issue becomes visible. This webinar will explain how proportionate background screening and Know Your Employee (KYE) controls help organizations verify critical information, aligning screening depth with role exposure and create a clear evidence trail for accountable decisions.
Language: English
Objective
Participants will gain a clear, realistic overview of:
- How to identify workforce-related risks and connect screening scope to the sensitivity of a role, its access and its jurisdiction.
- How pre-employment, in-employment and third-party workforce checks can support consistent, evidence-based decisions.
- How to design a proportionate and auditable process covering consent, verification, assessment, escalation and reporting.
Agenda
- Why human risk is an operational, compliance and reputational concern, not only an HR issue.
- From risk to control: practical background-check and KYE approaches across the workforce lifecycle.
