After several first-responder suicides, a fire-district board asks HR for a poster campaign. The CHRO sees mental health as an operational people-risk, not a communications project. What should the CHRO put in the risk strategy?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Posters do not staff a truck or give someone a way out of a bad shift. After suicides, mental health is an operational risk — staffing, peer support, leave, and how bosses talk. Put those controls in the strategy, not another slogan on the bay door.
Full Explanation
Mental health appears in the SPHR outline as a risk-management factor, not only a benefits-fair topic. A fire-district suicide cluster requires controls in staffing, peer support, leave design, and leadership norms because those systems shape exposure and recovery. Posters, isolated EAP flyers, and contract delays leave the operational risk untreated. The CHRO's strategy is the control set, not the communications campaign the board first requested.
