Operational Business Continuity Planning and Risk Management
Down time causes significant stress within a business that adversely impacts on profitability, reputation and its ability to maintain sustainability. AthoGroup works closely with you and your business decision makers in identifying the true risk profile of your organisation that can’t be insured, yet have a significant impact on the ability for your business to continue under adverse conditions or circumstances.
We help you identify and reduce risks to people, buildings, plant and equipment through our comprehensive audit process and business continuity system. The AthoGroup process looks at your entire business premises, its location, layout and supply chain to identify and address the full range of risks that could potentially impact your organisation.
We also train your staff to respond to potential and real risks including fire, floods or other natural disasters, to reduce the impact of on your business.
Would your business be able to operate effectively in the event of;
- Reputational damage due to direct or indirect incidents or activities?
- A neighboring building causing the issue and isolating your premises?
- A natural disaster i.e. flood, cyclone or earthquake?
- Critical workplace incident i.e. fire, explosion, accident or spill?
- Terrorism or physical intrusion?
Don’t leave your operational business continuity and emergency response processes to chance or improvisation. Call the AthoGroup to help you implement clear plans to ensure your business ‘survival following a disruptive natural disaster.
