Everyday disruptions cost organizations $268 billion every year.

Unpreparedness for these everyday disruptions becomes magnified during an emergency, costing industry millions of dollars for every hour it takes an employee to be available to their employer. These costs are magnified during an emergency.

National standards have recognized the personal resilience gap and have evolved to address a more dynamic model of planning that addresses needs before, during and most importantly after an event.  In other words – they have evolved from readiness to resilience. Two new steps have been added as best practices to the business continuity planning model. 

Continuity Planning defined: The ability of an organization to ensure continuity of service and support for its customers and to maintain its viability before, during, and after an event.

Your business is likely to experience a major disruption from things like natural disasters, fire, power outages or illness of a key member within any five-year period. When it happens to a small business, it’s more vulnerable to losing money fast. As many as 40% do not survive their first catastrophe.

Current and future customers who rely on you and your employees want to know you have a plan to survive disasters like these. And as standards evolve, they increasingly favor companies who can prove they have prepared.

•      Quickly and easily deploy a family and workforce emergency planning tool that can be updated when needed at no extra cost.

•      When your employees complete the program, your company can earn a Workforce Personal Continuity Certificate, giving you a competitive advantage you can use to keep and win more business.

•      Take your first steps in complying with PS-Prep Law requirements in ways that make sense for you today.

So Organizational Resilience depends on the resilience of the people you rely on.
