“One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.” – Arnold H. Glasow
Massachusetts business owners: Did you see our post last week about business disaster plans? You never know when an emergency may strike, so the time to prepare is now. Create a disaster plan or refine your existing plan. Here are just a few tips from your Boston business insurance agency:
- Create and practice an evacuation plan in case there is an emergency during business hours.
- A communication plan is critical for disseminating information with employees about a disaster that has happened, and what they are expected to do during recovery.
- Make an inventory of all of your business’s physical property in case of a loss.
- Businesses that rely on digital data need a thorough and secure backup and recovery plan for files.
- Having the right commercial insurance is critical – speak to your Massachusetts business insurance agent to check your policy for gaps.
