Disaster Preparedness: Is your organization ready?

Presented by Diane Syer, Senior Training Consultant

Hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, widespread power outages and the threat of pandemics like the avian flu have prompted many organizations to take a closer look at their disaster preparedness plans. What if a facility was inaccessible? What if a key supplier was shut down for a month or more? How would you reach your employees if phones were not working? What arrangements could you make now to be better prepared?

Recent disasters revealed that government resources may not be immediately available, and organizations may, in fact, need to be self-sufficient for a period of time. A comprehensive plan will help your organization stay in business, protect your employees and safeguard your physical assets.

In this Web forum you will learn:

• The types of disasters that may impact your organization
• Key components of a comprehensive plan
1. Vulnerability assessments
2. Business continuity planning
3. Emergency planning
4. Safeguarding physical assets

You will also see how Ceridian can help your organization be prepared to face any situation that can disrupt the normal flow of business.
