Business Continuity Advice
Nearly one in five businesses suffer a major disruption every year. Yours could be next. Past experience has shown that organisations with Business Continuity arrangements in place are more likely to stay in business and recover quickly in the event of an emergency than those that do not.
Developing a business continuity plan will help you manage the risks to your organisation to ensure that you can continue to operate to a pre-determined minimum level in the event of a disruption.
This will enable you to continue to operate during and following an emergency.
What is Business Continuity Management?
Business Continuity Management is a process that helps you to manage the risks to a smooth running of an organisation or delivery of service. These risks could be external, such as a power failure or severe weather, or they could be internal, such as a systems failure or high staff absenteeism. The process can be applied equally to private businesses or the voluntary sector.
