incident

In HR, an “incident” refers to an event or occurrence that disrupts normal operations, potentially affecting employee safety, well-being, or organizational processes. Incidents can include workplace accidents, injuries, conflicts, harassment, or any significant deviation from established protocols that could lead to adverse outcomes. Properly documenting and reporting incidents is crucial for compliance with legal regulations, maintaining a safe work environment, and implementing corrective measures to prevent future occurrences. This process often involves investigation, analysis, and the implementation of strategies for improvement in workplace practices.
