Save Your Business From Unpredictable Events

As Coronavirus pandemic continues to spread, how can companies avoid a total shutdown and ensure business as usual before an outbreak occurs in their city?

Preparation is key. Make a contingency plan. A well constructed plan increases the chance of a company’s survival from unpredictable events. The idea is the same no matter the kind of disasters - hurricanes, flooding, earthquake, fire, month-long protest, virus outbreak. 

A contingency plan should include activation of remote working. Last year we wrote about the pros and cons of remote working. Have a read here. People are encouraged to stay home when disaster strikes and for good reasons. For example, hurricanes or flooding is best avoided staying off the road; ruins and debris caused by an earthquake is toxic for the human’s respiratory system; Coronavirus is spread from person-to-person.

With remote working activated, some businesses can continue to operate with minimal impact. Users can check email, make phone/video calls, access company files, all from home or anywhere in the world as long as there is an Internet connection.
