Once the risks have been identified

Once the risks have been identified and plans have been developed, it’s imperative that the affected employees have a clear understanding of the plan components through communication and training. Effective and frequent communication of the BCP allows the employees to respond to emergency situations properly, mitigate the risks associated with the crisis, and handle emergency situations when the owner/manager isn’t present. Methods include classroom training of the procedures, hands-on training such as drills, and simulation of disasters such as data breaches and loss of power.
