The Risk Management Institute of Australasia (RMIA) is running a series of one-day workshops to help businesses minimise the operational, financial and reputational risks in relation to COVID-19.
The sessions will be held in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and are designed to help: risk managers; occupational health and safety managers; and human resources.
RMIA will provide information on how to: develop plans to protect the health and safety of employees; deal with supply chain challenges; and keep businesses operating as the virus spreads.
Details:
- Sydney, 19 March
- Melbourne, 13 March
- Brisband, 17 March
RMIA CEO and ED Jason Smith said: “The workshops will be led by industry experts who will deliver comprehensive information and tools to help organisations manage their business continuity and crisis plans in order to mitigate against the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Australian government is expecting the virus to move to a pandemic phase and stepping up measures to prepare authorities for what is likely to be a sustained period of instability and disruption.
“According to media reports, state and federal governments estimate a pandemic outbreak could last up to 10 months, 40 per cent of the country’s workforce could be sidelined by illness or caring for family members, and Australia’s GDP could take a 10 per cent hit.
“Our workshops will help managers identify the issues most likely to impact their business operations and ensure they are doing all they can to protect the health and safety of staff.”
