The Importance of Business Continuity and Planning for Pandemic Influenza

Maintaining business operations in the event of disruption is critical to demonstrating resilience and achieving sustainability. Natural disasters, IT and utility failures, widespread illness such as dengue fever or the current Covid-19 pandemic, as well as industrial action, can result in severe dislocation and even permanent closure of companies, regardless of the size of the organisation. These possibilities make it ever more important to protect our organisation by ensuring it’s not left vulnerable to disruption.
