Details

SafePlace International is seeking to enhance its business continuity planning (BCP) by developing a comprehensive Operations Playbook. This project aims to ensure that the organization can maintain critical functions during emergencies and disruptions. The team will work with the BCP committee to conduct thorough research on current HR processes, analyze existing emergency procedures, and identify gaps. The goal is to create a detailed and actionable Playbook that outlines standard operating procedures, emergency response protocols, and continuity strategies. Additionally, the team will support the committee with the planning and execution of BCP tests and training initiatives to ensure staff are well-prepared for various scenarios. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of business operations, HR management, and emergency planning in a real-world context.

Deliverables

- A report summarizing the research and analysis of current HR processes and emergency procedures.
