With a clear perspective, rise to each challenge head-on.
When a crisis hits, it can throw us into panic mode, making planning and adapting difficult. However, knowing you have the right elements in place ahead of time helps you keep calm, take the right actions, and aids your company in enduring the situation.
1. Start With a Clear Perspective
If you have five or more employees, you should have a health and safety plan in place. Safety plans are required for all workplaces where employees must come to the workplace. Check OSHA rules if you’re not sure.
Companies that focus on prevention will be better positioned to meet challenges. Provide employees with tools to help them be better stewards of their own health.
Understand health challenges of both workplace and home working environments. How will you meet OSHA standards when employees are home? Increase accessibility to telehealth channels – be sure to send resources to all employees.
Maintain a culture index. Periodically ask employees what you should keep, change, or get rid of. Keep communication channels open. And be able to adjust how you and your employees check in.
When meetings are conducted virtually, get everyone on camera for more personal connections.
Crisis preparation involves a close look at the following areas:
Cash reserves and fluidity
Existing technology needs and use
including knowing the degree to which work can be done remotely.
Build personal connections within your supply chain
for essential tools and components.
Reimagine resilience.
