Title: Are your business and workforce ready to manage a crisis?

Overview

Crisis Management is a vital consideration for any organisation and refers to the planned strategies in place to deal with a disruptive and unexpected event that threatens harm. Crises come in many forms for example; fire, chemical spill, extreme weather and more recently a pandemic.

The common denominator is that humans need to respond to the situation, prevent escalation, and restore normal operations. Speed in responding is vital and technology plays a key role. Moving crisis management systems from paper to online is a more effective way to ensure business continuity and the safety of workers. A virtual crisis room where everyone can easily access planned responses, communicate effectively and in one place during a crisis, plan and record drills and training. 

In this fireside chat, we discuss the ‘Human Dimension’ of crisis management and how human behaviour and technology can have a significant impact on the ultimate outcome.
