Well-being is in the midst of a revolution and the more organizations understand wellbeing - what it is, what it's not - better they and their workforces become. I speak with Occupational Health & Safety and Well-being expert Kate Field to talk about well-being and what it really encompasses. As Kate puts it, well-being is not just yogurt and yoga and you'll have to listen to know what that means. Kate will talk to us about how resilience in people and organization's is created by trust and working together; bridging various groups instead of working in isolation. We'll even get some pointers on how Business Continuity professionals can help with and contribute to, the wellbeing revolution. If you want a better workplace, don't miss my chat with Kate.
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
