This intensive ONE day workshop will provide the essential tools required to develop your business continuity plan in case of a PANDEMIC, EMERGENCY such as a fire, NATURAL DISASTER such as flood, hurricane or other, KEY STAFF ABSENCE and more. Business Continuity Planning prepares your business and your staff for major impacts on the business that could disrupt services to clients, production, and suppliers from delivering product, key staff absences and more. Your business continuity plan will address safety in the workplace for your workers and volunteers to ensure their safety. Can you afford to close your doors for two weeks or more while you reestablish somewhere else, replace key staff or find new suppliers? These are only a few of the issues you may have to deal with during the life of your business. A plan typically can take anywhere from 5 weeks to 6 months to put into place. With the tips from this workshop and the templates you will receive, you will be able to put a plan in place quickly and efficiently. Don’t delay or put off just because it is an unknown. Be prepared – don’t take risks that you can prevent.

How You will Benefit:

There is a multiplicity of benefits in planning for Business Continuity within your organization. Not only will your data, hardware, software, etc., be better protected, but the people that compose your organization will be better safeguarded should a disaster occur. In addition, employees will be informed and rehearsed as to what actions to take to immediately start the recovery process and ensure business continuity if disaster strikes. This process will assist in compliance with AODA – Accessibilities deadline requirements January 1, 2012.

Without this type of preparation any unexpected event can severely disrupt the operation, continuity, and effectiveness of your business. Disabling events can come in all shapes and varieties. They can vary from the more common calamities like hard drive corruption, building fires or flooding to the rarer, yet more severe and often longer lasting disruptions that can occur on a city-wide or even national basis; events such as disruptions in transport (oil crises, metro shut-downs, transport worker, strikes, etc.), infrastructure weakening from terrorist attacks, or even severe loss of staff due to illness like a pandemic flu. All of these strikes a blow at an organization's struggle for business continuity. For smaller companies the impact of the above mentioned and even lesser disasters can hit much harder. For example, unexpected non-availability of key workers alone could be catastrophic, potentially causing as much disruption to business continuity as technological hardship, especially if it occurs during the height of the company's busy season. If only one person is trained to do particular and/or essential tasks, their unexpected absence can severely disrupt productivity.

Thus, putting business continuity plans into practice in your organization now can prepare your business for most any potential disaster, help ensure that you will be able to maintain continuity of your business practices, and reduce or even possibly remove the effect such calamities could have on your organization.
