BRISBANE WOMAN Workshop and Networking Evening – Tuesday 9th March
Have you ever been kept awake at night thinking about what can go wrong? Disasters of all kinds can happen to any business. Some you can prevent and others you can do little about. The thing to remember is that no matter how serious, you can always minimize the damage from any event. All it takes is a little planning. Small and medium businesses are most vulnerable to crises. Consider, what if the “worst” did happen? How would it affect my business, my family, and my employees? Would we survive if the business were shut down for weeks, months, or perhaps the entire year? The possibilities may not be pleasant to think about. But a proactive approach to managing potential disasters may help reduce the effects on your business, and lessen the time and resources necessary to resume normal operations. Unsure what to do or where to start? Don’t be. Just a few simple activities with some easy to use tools and you will be ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
In this disaster-proof workshop, we will:
· Identify what can go wrong in your business giving you a greater understanding of
· your businesses risks and vulnerabilities;
· Discuss ways to prevent disasters from happening;
· Tell you what you can do to maximise your preparedness;
· Help you to know what to do when disaster strikes and it all goes pear shaped;
· Identify ways to get you back on your feet fast; and
· Provide you with the tools, tips and resources to help your businesses survive a
· disaster or crisis.
