Disaster Recovery Plans

With hurricane season on its way, small business owners might want to find the time to think about their disaster recovery plans. Of course, businesses should always be prepared for disasters at any time. You never know when you could be faced with flood, fire, accidents, or even computer malfunction.

Having a good plan in place can significantly reduce the costs incurred and can be the deciding factor in your company's survival in the event of a disaster.

To start on your disaster recovery plan, first you need to find out what events are most likely to cause disruption in your business and plan accordingly.

Over the years more and more businesses have begun to rely on computers to run their business. As a result, businesses need to develop effective back-up and recovery strategies to reduce the impact of disruptive events. Keeping your records backed-up and secure are essential to any disaster recovery plan. Many businesses use on-site or remote backup drives to keep their data secure. A newer option is cloud computing, where your information is stored via the internet. Look around to see what's right for your business.

Another factor to think of is how you will access the data in the event of an emergency. Will you need an alternate worksite or will employees be able to do their work from home? Will communication be disrupted?

Of course, the most important part of any disaster recovery plan is the safety of employees and patrons. Make sure employees are well-trained in what to do in case of emergency.

Here at People Lease, Hurricane Katrina was a definite eye-opener in the importance of disaster recovery plans. We would be glad to share our experiences with any business owners looking to make their own plan. Contact us anytime at 601-987-3025.

Background Checks

For the past few weeks we’ve been posting about hiring methods and practices (you can find the posts here). During our research, one of the things we’ve discovered is that an essential part of the hiring process is checking out a prospect’s background. You really can’t afford to be surprised by a candidate’s previous history. After all, if an employee's actions hurt someone, the employer may be liable. A bad decision can wreak havoc on a company's budget and reputation.

People Lease offers a fantastic employment screening service to all our clients. With our service you’re able to establish a prospect’s identity, obtain driving and criminal records, get information on illegal substance tests, confirm the existence & validity of licenses, and confirm education & employment information provided on their resume. Another part of the service includes contacting references with customized questions (according to job description) about their relationships with the applicant, and his or her personal and professional reputation and activities.

People Lease is here to help you with hiring and all aspects of employee administration. To learn more about these services and others, please contact us today.
