Pandemic Planning to Safeguard Health and Business Continuity

Every organisation’s business continuity plan must include pandemic planning to help you respond to these high-impact, low-probability events. A business continuity pandemic plan minimises disruption to operations, protects your employees’ wellbeing and is compliant with national and workplace health standards. Agilient’s pandemic planning and preparedness service helps organisations navigate and respond to pandemics, ensuring it’s business as usual.

What is Pandemic Planning?

The last pandemic cost businesses anywhere from thousands of dollars to billions in protecting their employees and continuing operations. Some companies even closed their doors.

Pandemic response planning is the strategic process of preparing your organisation to manage the health, safety, and operational impacts of an infectious disease outbreak that could disrupt operations and supply chains. The process should include elements such as health risk assessments, response protocols, remote work strategies for employees, prioritisation of critical functions, and internal communications to help them navigate through it.

How does pandemic planning relate to business continuity?

Business continuity can be significantly impacted by adverse or once-in-a-lifetime events, such as a pandemic, which often leaves businesses ill-equipped to handle them.

A pandemic management plan is a critical component of a wider business continuity strategy. It helps look at your business as a whole, identify any risky or volatile areas, and put in place strategies to minimise disruptions and loss, protect your staff and reputation. Pandemic response planning helps your business operate effectively under unusual circumstances and emerge stronger in the end.
