Follow on Google News | Steelhenge Consulting is urging organisations to review business resilience before the 2012 OlympicsSteelhenge Consulting urges businesses and organisations in the UK to review their business continuity programmes now in order to improve their business resilience in time for the London 2010 Olympics
By: Isobel Nicholas "We're concerned that businesses and organisations across the UK should be considering the impact of the Olympics on their business continuity now, when they still have time to improve their operational resilience," When asked what kind of business continuity issues may be caused by the 2010 Olympics, Isobel said; "Staffing is likely to be a major concern, for many reasons. Businesses need to plan for days when many members of staff are likely to want to take holiday at the same time to enjoy the Games. There may be an element of absenteeism during the Games, so the development of a solid HR policy regarding holiday and absence during the period would be beneficial. In addition, staffing problems may occur due to transport difficulties, especially if the business is located near to one of the events. Remote working may need to be considered as a solution, and the increased demand for ICT provision planned in advance." "Ultimately, preparing for the 2012 Olympics is all about looking ahead and planning for disruptions now, whilst there is time to put improved business continuity plans in place. The improvement of business resilience in preparation for the Games will also benefit the organisation in the long term too, leaving a legacy of good business continuity plans for years to come." Isobel concluded. # # # About Steelhenge Steelhenge Consulting provides end to end business continuity, crisis management and emergency planning services to a broad range of corporate clients internationally, as well as to UK Government Departments, local authorities, the European Commission and NGOs.
