2. Business Continuity Planning

Develop your team's ability to respond to crises, with an operational plan to arrange for alternating teams, remote work policies and processes for any transitions in leadership. Governments are responding to the situation as it unfolds, but leaders can make an early impact by promoting safe working practices such as health surveillance and entry restrictions.

Having a business continuity plan (BCP) can help your teams to develop capabilities to respond to a crisis, allowing businesses to operate with minimal disruptions on productivity, efficiency and financial resources.
