Power failures, telecommunication failures, pandemic events, natural disasters: When faced with these events, does your business have a plan? VCPI provides consulting services for a Business Continuity Management  (BCM) program that cover the four corners and 10 steps recommended by Disaster Recovery Institute International. After a thorough assessment by our certified professionals of both your business process and its threats and vulnerabilities, plans are established to keep you delivering care to your residents should an interruption occur. Your staff will receive training that will help keep them prepared, and thanks to our regular awareness programs, the skills they gain, and your plans, will stay fresh and ready.

Business Continuity Management Process:

  • Crisis management plan: The processes to handle a problem that goes beyond normal problem management
  • Business continuity plan: Ways to have the business continue to function without supporting infrastructure
