Business Continuity Awareness

​During November 2018, Bxx, Exx and Lxx offices, are being assessed by the British Standards Institute (BSI) for our certification in Business Continuity Management.

As part of the ongoing awareness into business continuity and recovery procedures, all of our people, including any contractors, must be aware of the following information:

•Your general awareness around Business Continuity as an employee
•If you have read the Policy / know where can [sic] the Business Continuity Policy can be found
•Who is the Business Continuity rep is [sic] for your area
•If you are you familiar with the Incident Management Team
•What is a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is [sic]
•How you contribute to our Business Continuity Management Programme
•If you know where your Workplace Recovery (WPR) site is

An auditor may ask you some of these questions during their visit:
[follows effectively a cheat list of how to answer the above, even if you didn't know!

I wonder how familiar with the Incident Management Team I should be. Should I invite one of them out for dinner? Or is that too familiar?]

I'd advise against asking whether their underwear is Victorian. BTW there's another [sic] you could have put in: "If you are you".

The second tab (Invitees) is for adding the names of guests who you would like to be invited to this year’s event. The general rule is to invite people who you have worked closely with this year.

What are ‘welfare facilities’? Do you have an on-site counsellor?

I’m assuming ‘welfare facilities’ is nothing more than the grotty toilets.
