This study explores the strategic integration of risk management and Human Resources (HR) practices within supply chain management to enhance organizational resilience and sustainability. Using a systematic literature review and content analysis, the study examines scholarly articles from key databases, focusing on the period from January 2000 to the present. Key findings reveal that strategic HR practices, such as talent management, leadership development, and fostering a risk-aware culture, significantly contribute to mitigating supply chain risks and bolstering resilience. The study also highlights the pivotal role of technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things, in supporting the dynamic integration of risk management and HR practices. This integration not only addresses operational efficiencies but also aligns with strategic objectives towards sustainability and adaptability in the face of global disruptions. The study concludes that the strategic importance of integrating risk management with HR practices cannot be overstated, emphasizing its necessity for building agile, resilient, and sustainable supply chains. As organizations navigate the complexities of modern supply chains, this integrated approach offers a pathway to not only survive but thrive amid uncertainties, underscoring a blueprint for sustainable competitive advantage in evolving global markets.This study explores the strategic integration of risk management and Human Resources (HR) practices within supply chain management to enhance organizational resilience and sustainability.
