Chartered Management Institute Warns Businesses to Put in Place Procedures to Protect Safety of Staff and Business Operations

Business continuity management (BCM) is a process that helps manage risks to the smooth running of an organisation or delivery of a service, ensuring continuity of critical functions in the event of a disruption, and effective recovery afterwards.

Surprisingly, however, only 48% of large businesses have a business continuity plan, and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) warned earlier this year that businesses are still not doing enough to combat the threat of unforeseen disasters such as power cuts, storms, fires, floods and terrorist attacks.

Phil Wood MBE CPP is today on-site with the world’s largest commercial security printing company to deliver a practical workshop in business continuity management. To book a similar workshop for your senior and operational managers, contact Phil at ARC Training.
