In a digital-first world, companies are relying on technology more than ever to conduct business. That’s why solutions like Cisive’s SAFE19 COVID-19 Clearinghouse repository were developed to help businesses re-open safely during the pandemic.

Human Capital Management, or HCM, is the active acquisition, employment, and development of a company’s employees through strategic and tactical practices, processes, and applications to maximize their economic value. The set of Human Capital Management practices, procedures, and applications should be focused on the organizational need to provide specific competencies.

Risk management is a strategy to prepare for and lessen the effects of threats faced by a data center. Comparable to risk reduction, risk mitigation takes steps to reduce the adverse impact of threats and disasters on Business Continuity (BC). Threats that might put a business at risk include cyber-attacks, weather events, and other causes of physical or virtual damage to a data center.

In today’s highly regulated environment and technology-driven landscape, employers are competing for top talent more than ever in digital-first world exacerbated by the Coronavirus global pandemic.
