What's keeping you up at night?

The age old question that almost every business owner or CEO is asked "What keeps you up at night," has got me thinking. It's 2:34 am on a Tuesday morning and I am up with my mind on growing my business. Asking myself, what’s our competitive edge? What can we offer our target market that no one else does? How do we market it and get our message out?

These are all questions that you may be asking yourself.

What keeps you up at night?

•  Company growth 
•  Managing employees
•  Being a step ahead of your competition 
•  Evolving your business to meet the demands of the changing economy
•  Or one of the many other complex issues business leaders are facing!

Complete Concepts Consulting was birthed out of the notion that business leaders are taxed with so many issues that keep them up at night and managing employees should not be one of them.

We are a cut above the rest offering HR In-sourcing to the companies that need it most, small to mid-sized businesses.

So you are probably thinking to yourself, what is HR In-sourcing, she must mean HR Outsourcing? The answer is no, I mean HR In-sourcing.

Is your business prepared for a disaster?

Did you know that almost 40% of businesses that close due to disaster never re-open? 

The busy hurricane season is well under way and winter storms are right around the corner.  Natural disasters are not the only threat lurking in the shadows; man-made disasters like fire which is the number 1 threat to all businesses could put you company at risk.

So what’s your disaster plan? How will you stay connected to customers, vendors and staff? How long will it take you to bring operations back online?

Having a plan for natural and man-made disasters that identifies the critical necessities is imperative.

A few important things to include in a business continuity plan:

·  Safety and evacuation plan with employee training

·  Safety/Emergency Committee

·  Temporary work space for immediately following a disaster

·  Communications Plan

·  Technology security and records back-up

·  Accessible  database of customer, employee and vendor contact information

·  List of resources needed

·  Emergency supplies

·  Insurance information readily available

You have to plan in advance to successfully manage an emergency situation.  The plan is just the first step; train managers and employees. Being able to properly assess each situation, use the necessary resources to ensure everyone’s safety and having the ability to recover.
