Learn to lead the disaster planning efforts and add value through development of contingent HR programs that get staff to productivity faster.
Natural or man-made disasters in our communities and workplaces are increasingly common. Those that plan have better odds for survival. This session demonstrates compelling reasons for HR's strategic role in emergency preparedness/business continuity planning: How HR adds value before, during and after the disaster, making the business case, leadership competencies you need when disaster occurs, preparing managers for your roles during/following a disaster, contingent HR policies and programs and communications plans, and improving productivity.
