Training & Awareness
BCM is basically a straightforward process for preparing an organisation pre incident to cope with the impacts of a disruption to business operations. It is really important to make sure everyone in the organisation understands that an effective BCM programme is the key to achieving a cohesive and coordinated response to an incident.
Through training and awareness sessions, it is possible to educate both management and staff not only in the benefits of developing a BCM programme, but to provide them with a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities both pre and post incident – vital to ensuring a successful outcome. Staff training is a recognised element of the BCM standard BS 25999, which advocates embedding BCM in the culture of the organisation through development of an ongoing training and awareness programme.
Teed has developed and facilitated training and awareness sessions for their clients over many years using tried and tested methods and easy to use material. We recognise that people have limited time available so every session is designed to make full use of the allotted time. Courses are practical and interactive with participants encouraged to engage fully through role play, break out sessions, group discussion and hands on practical exercises.
