Office Crisis Management and Business Continuity Plan

Is your company prepared for a crisis situation? Ensure that your business will weather a natural or man-made disaster with a Crisis Management and Business Continuity Plan.

• The purpose of the Plan is to:
  • enable your company to respond appropriately and effectively in a crisis situation,
  • recover and reinstate critical business processes within a very short timeframe,
  • assign principal roles and responsibilities,
  • provide management, staff and contractors with remote access to work processes and keep them informed of the situation on an ongoing basis,
  • ensure that communications with clients, business partners, and vendors are maintained.
• The plan is intended to be implemented in response to a situation where the company's employees are denied access to their normal business premises as a result of a fire, flood, explosion or other disaster, or in any situation where the location is effectively rendered inoperable, for example due to a prolonged loss of electrical power.
• The Crisis Management Team will be made up of a number of key persons who will be responsible for ongoing evaluation of the situation, liaising with business allies, providing advice and guidance to staff, retaining control of the business, etc.
• The Business Continuity Team will be responsible for:
  • information systems recovery,
  • administration and communications recovery,
  • human resources recovery,
  • risk management recovery,
  • business unit recovery,
  • activating third party recovery.
• This in-depth template is available in MS Word format and is fully editable.
• This Plan can be used anywhere.
