Observation 1
Human Resource Risk (People Risk)
Risk Description
Skill shortages in recruitment and replacement for high level positions (BM) or Sr.LOs put pressure
on HR team to find the right peoples for the right positions in timely and effective manners.

Risk Approach
Risk Officer talked with head of HR to understand HR processes and their activities

Potential Outcomes
Hiring of less skillful employees could affect operation and credit risk. Moreover, hiring
unqualified employees will not only demotivate other team members, but it also put the whole
team at risk of operation, credit and reputation risks.

Risk Strategy and Action Plan:


By Mitigate and Control,
Management should not plan very hastily to hire more skillful labor forces and HR should not rush
hiring unqualified and unskillful employees.

Observation 2
Human Resource Risk (People Risk)
Risk Description
Currently the number of Hayman Employees is at about 360 people. Employee turnover rate is
32% which mean 1 out of every 3 employees resigned. The reason employees resign because they
left during management pressure or they found better opportunities elsewhere.

Risk Approach
Risk Officer talked with head of HR to understand HR processes and their activities

Potential Outcomes
Skillful employees leaving the company could affect our operation severely. Moreover, SrLOs
leaving Hayman could impact credit risk because it is easier for old and senior LOs to collect
delinquency since they are already familiar with clients than new employees doing delinquencies
recollections.

Risk Strategy and Action Plan:


By Mitigate and Control,
Hayman need to retain experienced and skillful employees to prevent from losing valuable human
resources to competitors or somewhere else or we will lose our competitive advantages. Since MFI is
lack of skill labor and its labor intensive business nature, Hayman should plan to retain and attractive
experienced employees to prevent from talent drain to other competitors.
