Beth is a HR Professional for her organization and she's discussing the risk of growing her organization's business. What is risk and why would it be considered in HR for organizational growth?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Answer option D is correct.

Risk is uncertain - and in uncertainty lies opportunity. When an organization looks to grow and new employees may be added to the business, new employees can bring risk to the organization's operations, goals, and endeavors.

Answer option A is incorrect. This is a correct definition of risk, but it does not address the human resource-related risk events.

Answer option B is incorrect. Risk can be positive or negative, not just adverse.

Answer option C is incorrect. Risk isn't always negative. Risk can be positive or negative.
