Overview:

This program will provide an overview of pre and post services and strategies that are designed to sustain workforce resilience.

Floods, hurricanes, civil disturbance, power outages, layoffs, fires, "haz mat" spills, IT disruption, violence… the list of events that may impact a work organization is far reaching. In the past, most organizations operated by the paradigm of "It won’t happen here." It has been learned (the hard way) that any size or type of work organization is vulnerable to a wide range of events that can significantly impact their operations. It has also been learned that the most critical component to maintaining productivity during and after an event is... the workforce. Yet, most contingency plans do not focus on this vital factor.

Areas Covered In the Session:
  • Assessing the work organization’s culture;
  • The types of events and the short and long range impact on an organization
  • Pre-event policies and programs and post-event services and strategies to maintain workforce viability
  • How to conduct an employee preparedness survey with a case presentation.
Who will benefit:
  • All levels of administrative and supervisory personnel
  • HR
  • Legal
  • Security
  • Risk Management
  • Facilities
