Protiviti and NC State University’s ERM Initiative conducted a survey focused on the top risks occupying the minds of global boards of directors and executives. The survey highlighted 36 risk issues that were further analyzed for impact. While each risk presents unique opportunities and challenges, one key theme – the future of work – touches and spans the most significant risks for board members and executives. 

Here, we provide an overview of the landscape organizations face and critical short- and long-term considerations for boards and executives, based on the results of Protiviti’s Executive Perspectives on Top Risks in 2022 and 2031 Survey.
