COVID-19 - Impacts to the BCM Profession and the Employment Market Thursday, October 29, 2020 1:00 PM Eastern | 12:00 PM Central | 11:00 AM Mountain | 10:00 AM Pacific Click here to register! In light of Covid-19, our Premier Continuum Executive Vice-President Marie-Hélène Primeau will talk about the greater importance for business continuity practitioners to maintain or enhance their leadership role in increasing the organization’s resilience and adapt the BCMP.

Presented by: Cheyene Marling, Hon MBCI, and Alicia Stevens Preparing For and Responding to Severe Weather Thursday, November 5, 2020 1:00 PM Eastern | 12:00 PM Central | 11:00 AM Mountain | 10:00 AM Pacific Click here to register! Many people argue that there isn’t anything we can do about weather. While we can’t change the severe weather event, we can take steps to mitigate its impact to our businesses and lives. In this webinar we will look at examples of time-phased response planning- its benefits, uses, and outcomes. Presented by: Ed Schlichtenmyer Senior Business Continuity and Quality Manager, Retired Managing the Behavioral Consequences of COVID-19 Thursday, November 19, 2020 1:00 PM Eastern | 12:00 PM Central | 11:00 AM Mountain | 10:00 AM Pacific Click here to register! The current novel Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has already resulted in nearly 24 million infections and 800,000 deaths worldwide so far. The global economy has lost nearly trillions of dollars, with ripple effects causing individuals and businesses serious financial harm. The impact on society, businesses, and especially essential workers has been overwhelming. The psychological effects of a constant news cycle, as well as information on the Internet, can easily become uncomfortable and anxiety-producing. Disruption of services due to bans on travel or group activities, decreased staffing levels, increased demands for services, and potential problems with the supply chain will strain every part of the global economic system. The impact on those already struggling with mental illnesses and substance abuse problems can represent a critical challenge to their safety and survival, as well as work-related performance and productivity. Presented by: Steve Crimando, MA, CHPP, CTM Safety and Security for the Work-From-Home Workforce Thursday, December 17, 2020 1:00 PM Eastern | 12:00 PM Central | 11:00 AM Mountain | 10:00 AM Pacific Click here to register! Recent research from Stanford suggests that 42 percent of the U.S. labor force now working from home full-time with another 33 percent are not working – a result of the impact of the lockdown recession. The U.S. is a now a working-from-home economy. Almost twice as many employees are working from home as at traditional workplaces. As the nature of workplace has changed, the nature of workplace violence is also changing. Just because an employee has changed their work location does not mean there is no longer a risk of workplace violence or other safety concerns. Safety and security cannot begin and ends at the walls of the employer’s facilities or the perimeter of their parking lots. The employee working from home may still incur a risk of violence but not enjoy the physical security apparatus or violence prevention programs and practices in place in the traditional workplace, thereby creating a perfect storm of risk. Both employers and employees who are concerned with the possibility of violence encountered on the job would greatly benefit by a discussion of the contemporary workplace violence landscape.
