"PLANNING FOR PREPAREDNESS"
Business Continuity
Management is important subject matter on the topic of Risk Management and
Emergency Preparedness. With an increased number of incidents and potential
disasters occurring every year, companies should understand the importance
of formulating plans to manage unforeseen events.
Klay Information Management Consulting (KIMC), are Business Continuity
Experts, we have asked them to discuss the meaning of business continuity
management and how to develop executable continuity plans for various
scenarios. KIMC will provide information on the role that Human Resources,
Information Technology and Facility Managers must play in creating and
carrying out plans (so don't hesitate to invite HR & IT personnel from your
office to attend as well).
One specific scenario that KIMC will discuss is 'business continuity'
during a pandemic and how business can deal with a reduced work staff. KIMC
will outline the steps organizations must take to ensure that their
operations are prepared to survive during such situations.
With the current H1N1 warning and the influenza season upon us, this is an
opportune time for individuals and businesses to become informed and to
evaluate their level of preparedness.
