Other Threats
There are many other causes for disruption that organisations face. Effective business continuity management will encourage and support the development of all levels of your organisation to deal with these incidents. From senior board members to junior or temporary staff, embedding Business Continuity Practices through the chains of command will reduce the impact of disruption and improve the quality of the recovery effort.
The list below highlights threats that some businesses have already faced this year and that have been well reported in local and national media outlets.
- Product Recall
- Damaging Media stories
- Competitor activity
- Multiple disasters
- Supplier failings
- Redundancies
- Strike Action
These crises are often handled by a Senior Management Team as they often require crucial communication with the media if the business is to do more than just 'survive' the incident. Business Continuity Consultancy from WorkPlace Recovery can provide Incident/Crisis Management Plans to support and direct the decision making of staff during these sorts of crises.
