COVID-19: Starting the Recovery Planning Process

Now is the time to start forming a team and beginning planning.

Perhaps your organization has already started working on a recovery plan for returning the workforce to work and to a "new normal" that will exist when people and companies/governments get back to their factories and offices.

This article, The COVID-19 Recovery Conversation Must Start Today, can serve as an excellent checklist to review what plans you have already made or are in progress. 

While many are still in the response phase, we know from past disasters that the sooner you initiate the recovery planning process, the sooner you put your organization back on its feet and functioning in a productive manner. 

Don't wait to start!
