What would you do with your business if.... there is an earthquake, or a tsunami, or a pandemic where we all get locked at home and can't go to our offices or meet with other team members. Sound familiar?
The importance of having an emergency plan for your businesses has been shoved rudely to the front of your consciousnesses. If you don't build one now, you can't really blame anyone else when the time might come when you need it.
In this episode Liz Kislik breaks down exactly how to formulate your lists of "What would we do if" and the suitable reactions for situations where you no longer have access to your premises, your computers or your team members. If you want to be clear-headed with a plan of action for every possible and impossible situation, this is the episode you need to listen to right now.
