Business Continuity Awareness Week  Presentations courtesy of InfiniteBlue May 16: Supply Chain Resilience DYK helium is a critical ingredient in countless products and processes? So when a fire damaged a large helium production facility, it put industries across the globe at risk – and spelled disaster for a beloved US company.  May 17: Operational Resilience As the US navigates economic uncertainty, many businesses have begun downsizing. However, when it comes to business continuity staff, Frank Shultz advises that organizations should proceed with caution.   May 18: Personal Resilience Do something for yourself today by practicing self-care. Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health through activities such as exercise, meditation, and getting enough sleep. May 19: Organizational Resilience Andy Witts, Senior Director of Alliances, shares more on recent regulations introduced in the UK requiring financial and investment firms to achieve operational resilience. Will other countries and industries soon follow?     For over 20 years BC Management (powered by Witt O’Brien’s) has been collecting compensation data for the Business Continuity profession and Cheyene is excited to share the newest data findings with the Association of Continuity Professionals, even before the report is officially distributed!  Organizations worldwide depend on our annual report to pay fair and marketable compensations when looking to hire new professionals as well as retain top talent; however, our annual report extends beyond the traditional compensation assessment.  With decades of data, several trends are highlighted throughout the report.  Additionally, our report should serve as a road map to evaluate your marketability (skills/competencies) in comparison to your peers.  Be sure to listen in to better understand your earning potential and marketability within your peer group. Presenter, Cheyene Marling is a global leader with more than 20 years of dedicated expertise specializing in the business continuity profession. She founded   BC Management, Inc. in 2000 and joined Witt O'Brien's in 2022 as a Managing Director, Talent Management and Research Analytics.
