Disaster Preparedness and Leadership
Hello,
A sometimes overlooked subject is a leader's professional relationship with his or her employees. Oftentimes we as leaders and managers get so wrapped up with our day-to-day tasks and long-term planning that we forget to think about our employees and the fact that most of them do have a life outside of work. Whether it's with family or friends, community relations, or sports activities, most employees do have responsibilities outside of the workplace. One important time to consider this is during hurricane season.
Whether it is a hurricane approaching the gulf coast or wildfires sweeping across the west, when a natural disaster is approaching employees may need time to tend to their personal responsibilities. If leaders are not aware of this fact they may miss out on an opportunity to help ensure the well-being of their employees. For some leaders this simply may mean not making employees stay late at work. There are times when critical work deadlines are approaching and employees may have to work late, but by having a plan in place and understanding that employees may need time to prepare and protect themselves from natural disaster may in the long run help businesses to function more effectively.
