CRISES and DISASTER PLANNING: MANAGING THE HUMAN IMPACT

Crises large and small

Disasters, whether of human or natural origin, have a direct impact on the health and job functioning of employees.  Events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, catastrophic accidents, terror attacks and other acts of violence have an immediate and often long-lasting impact on health, workplace morale, family life, and employee loyalty. 

But crises can also arise from more contained incidents, such as armed robbery in retail outlets or in transporting goods, employees threatened with violence by fellow employees, customers, or clients, and when employees or clients become the direct witnesses to violence or to industrial accidents.  

As a company focuses on restoration of systems and data, repair of physical structures, preservation of customer base, and positive public relations, it must also consider the effects of a crisis on its own people.   Indeed, there is no business continuity without people who are assured enough of their safety to remain at work or, the acute danger having passed, to return to the workplace and to remain healthy, vital and productive.

The Braverman Group develops solutions:

• Plans, systems and resources to preserve individual and organizational health;
• Systems to monitor the ongoing health of individuals and work organizations;
• Teams to ensure effective internal communications;
• Response to the acute and ongoing needs of employees and their families;
• Methods to support management ranks in maintaining operations.

As our company history attests, The Braverman Group is in the forefront of this field, with over 20 years experience helping companies prepare for and recover from crises and disasters.  The need for preparedness has never been greater.
