Severe weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity, causing businesses to face unprecedented challenges. From wildfires and hurricanes to flooding and extreme heat, natural disasters can strike with little warning. Is your organization ready?
A proactive plan ensures that your employees and business are protected. Whether your staff is on-site, remote, or scattered across different locations, preparedness is key.
When a disaster occurs, communication can break down, roads can become dangerous, and worksites may be unsafe. Without a plan in place, it becomes nearly impossible to coordinate an effective response. Employees need to know what to do, how to stay safe, and what actions to take—even if communication is disrupted.
In times of crisis, normal communication methods might not work, so having alternative means to contact employees is crucial. Consider automated texts, emails, or web updates, and make sure your team understands procedures in case those systems fail.
Remember to stay flexible. Employees might not be able to get to the office safely, and in those cases, giving them the option to work remotely or take time off can make all the difference. Morale and safety should be your top priorities.
Understand the legal obligations for paying exempt and nonexempt employees during closures due to severe weather. Providing clear policies on paid time off (PTO) and flexible attendance rules ensures everyone is on the same page.
