Business Continuity – Human Resource Planning

Description

The staffing challenges from the Omicron variant have been widely reported, with up to 1/3 of the workforce potentially becoming sick and unable to work.  But even after Omicron subsides, business continuity risks – of all types – will continue.

Human resource planning is an excellent way to mitigate the risk to your business and maintain business continuity at the highest levels possible, despite challenges such as the Omicron surge.  Done well, it should also help strengthen your organization in good times!
 
Join Kevin Woolliams, Managing Director at HR West and Jeff Novinger, President of PBF Pita Bread Factory for a practical and interactive session that explores approaches to identifying risks and then making plans – with your employees – to eliminate or reduce those risks so your business can thrive even when the unexpected happens.
