Last week, the Whāriki Maori Business Network shared tips to safeguard businesses and ensure business owners are best positioned to weather any storm. Whether you were affected or not — it’s important to have a plan in place so you are prepared if a natural disaster were to happen.
Here are some tips:
- Have a look at your business insurances and amend where needed.
- Put a business continuity plan in place.
- Review your emergency plan and health and safety procedures.
- Keep communicating with staff, and take care of yourself and your employees during this time. If it’s not safe to work, don’t require staff to do so.
- Right now First Steps is available for support to look after mental health and wellbeing.
- Business owners can join the Online Business Community to receive up-to-date information or call Business Helpline on 0800 500 362.
