Implement Your Action Strategy

If you’ve gone to the effort of protecting your business with a BCP, ensure your Action Strategy will work through training and testing.

• Employees should be briefed on the contents of your Action Strategy and understand their individual responsibilities.
• Employees should be trained for the additional tasks they will have to assume in an emergency.
• Develop simulations to ensure employees can handle their responsibilities competently.
• The parts of your Action Strategy that can be tested should be – such as handling a new function, car pooling, working from home.
