If you, your family, or the organization you work with hasn’t been adversely affected by weather this season (or even this week!) then we’d like to know where you live!
All kidding aside however, the unpredictable forces of nature have reinforced the need to be prepared in the face of the unexpected.
According to The Hartford Financial Services Group, over 40% of businesses that don’t have a disaster plan go out of business after a major loss, such as a fire, a break-in, or a storm. Every organization should have a disaster plan and TelSpan can help
.
• Have audio and web conference codes set up and available on demand for use in an emergency, or for routine communications when employees cannot make it to the office.
• Use UrgentConference codes to instantly dial out to a preset list of up to 50 people. This is great for communicating quickly in a disaster, or to let employees know of a change in plans or work schedules.
• Use the TelSpan playback system to record a message, and then instruct your employees to simply dial an 800 number and enter a code to hear the message. The message can be updated as often as needed. We use this at TelSpan to keep our employees updated during inclement weather.
