Business Continuity Plan: Thinking
Beyond IT
Many of us have a notion that emergency and disaster planning are the core
responsibility of IT team. While they do have a major role in managing crises,
the human resource management also plays a prominent role in planning for
any disaster or emergency. HR helps in developing a business continuity plan
that enables companies prepare for pandemics and natural disasters.
The corona virus outbreak has resulted in a global lockdown; the normal work
routine of majority of the businesses has been disrupted and a major chunk of
the population is working from home. It is during times like these we realize
the true significance of a business continuity plan.
BCP involves a set of procedures that helps businesses operate normally
even at the time of unexpected events. While it is essential to keep the
business operational and revenue flowing, it shouldn’t be at the expense of
the lives of employees. BCP outlines plans and criteria that safeguard and
support employees, without any drastic effects on business. It provides
detailed strategies to manage business operations for both short-term and
long-term outages.
Business continuity plan ensures smooth flow of your business even in the
worst scenario. The following things need to be taken care of while developing
a business continuity plan;
 How and from where the employees will be working?
 Do they have the required equipments and connectivity?
 How will they get paid? Will there be any deduction from their salaries?
 Mode of communication between employees and with the management
 How many hours are they expected to work and methods to track the work
 Should they follow the normal office hours or is it flexible?
Employees should be educated about the situation and what is expected of
them. The circumstance might demand certain employees to go on long
leave, without pay and for some there might be changes in their roles and
responsibilities. The HR must see it to that they are made aware of the
ongoing crisis so that they accept the decision without grudges and support
any other initiatives you plan to implement to handle the situation.
The ultimate objective of BCP is to ensure that the business is equipped with
necessary resources, information and capabilities to deal with emergencies.
We cannot prevent a pandemic or natural disaster; the least we can do is
prepare ourselves for one. When you have a plan in advance, the process
becomes much easier and hassle-free.
