Business Continuity Planning
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.
