“Private-sector preparedness is not a luxury; it is a cost of doing business in the post-9/11 world. It is ignored at a tremendous potential cost in lives, money and national security.”
? The 9 11 Commission Report
Let’s face it, we are now living and working in a time where business managers are facing increased uncertainty, and more companies are embracing business emergency preparedness.
Over the recent years we have been bombarded with media news about natural and man-made disasters, economic instability, poverty, disease, political unrest, cyber risk, terrorism and criminal activity.
It tough to run a business when times are challenging and puts a huge amount of stress on managers and owners.
Are you laying awake at night worrying about your business, knowing the stress isn’t good for you or your business?
Anxiety and depression now impacts 1 in 4 people, a simple phone call to a Risk Management consultant can give you a solution and peace of mind.
Ask yourself the following questions.
- Wouldn’t you prefer peace of mind, knowing you have a solution in place for emergencies?
- If you had a disaster or an unexpected emergency could you cope, and would your business survive?
- How would you generate an income, support your employees or family, do you even have a plan?
- What are the legal ramifications or duty of care if something goes wrong?
- What is the real consequence and costs for failing to plan?
You might ask, OK you have my attention so where do I go from here?
The good news is that with the right consultant, you can have instant peace of mind. You can have a system in place that will support your business, family and employees, especially when unexpected emergencies or disaster’s happen.
