Allow me to describe. - [Higher Education Risk Assessment Helps To Increase Debt Capacity By 66.67%](https://enterpriseriskmanagementexchange.com/insights/higher-education-risk-assessment/): While the University President and senior leadership team supported the need for risk assessment, pressure from the Board of Trustees stimulated the need for an outside party to facilitate this effort, attributed in part to recent corporate and non-profit governance lapses captured in national and international headlines. - [MITIGATING THE RISKS OF QUIET QUITTING CULTURE THROUGH AN ERM PROGRAM](https://enterpriseriskmanagementexchange.com/insights/mitigating-the-risks-of-quiet-quitting-culture/): The Great Resignation has given rise to another new term, “Quiet Quitting.” Quiet quitting refers to an employee who has chosen not to resign, but rather become less psychologically invested in their work.
