Business Resilience
By M. Bernard Edmonds, I
A few things you should consider prior to resuming your daily business activities;
1. How will you provide healthy business practices for your employees and customers?
2. How to access the amount of operating capital needed to reopen your business?
3. What is needed to sanitize your place of business and how often should you do so?
4. Does your current Business Plan address how I will need to provide service at this time?
5. Whether or not to implement E-commerce, if so what strategies will you use to ful ll orders?
6. How to reorganize your o ce, store, dining or general work space to maintain social distance?
7. How do you bring sta back and hire new sta when necessary?
8. Can your business service your customer base virtually, telecommuting?
9. How to negotiate the termination of your o ce lease, if you chose to telecommute?
10. What new types of supplies, uniforms, protective/safety gear will you need to conduct business?
11. What child care arrangements will be necessary, in the event of school and childcare closures?
