A Comprehensive Strategy
Emergency Preparedness
Businesses Emergency Safety & Security Management Plan
As a successful business, your team puts a lot of time and effort into developing an annual operating plan — laying out your company’s marketing and advertising strategies, product and distribution plans, information technology integration, competitive counter-measures, etc. Your company’s plan usually includes contingencies, Plan A, Plan B, and so on. You probably have employee policies and procedures. Your company might even have a plan in place to continue operations or recover data if your building loses power.
But what about other critical incidents like public health and pandemic emergencies and workplace violence? Has your company really planned for all contingencies that threaten your people, assets, income, and business continuity?
Nesbitt & Associates customizes strategic plans allowing businesses to develop better emergency preparedness and response plans that address a myriad of threatening situations in less time; train staff on that plan; and provide critical information within your company and to “first responding” public safety groups like the police, fire department, health agencies and more, — ensuring the best and quickest response to your organization’s emergency.

- As recently as 2005, 70% of employers didn’t have a policy or plan in place to address violence in their workplace
- According to law enforcement professionals, opportunistic assaults and illegal activities are more likely to happen in obscure and poorly seen areas.
- Lack of effective security measures (technology, policies and procedures, etc.) accommodates fraud and theft by those inside and outside your organization?
