Key roles
Identify specialized skills and decision rights that cannot be easily replaced.
Alternates
Named alternates and cross-training reduce dependence on one individual.
Work conditions
Travel, caregiving, communications, remote access and site availability can affect staffing during wide-area disruptions.
Sustainable staffing
Plans should consider shift length, handover and fatigue during prolonged incidents rather than assuming normal productivity indefinitely.
Business continuity is organization-specific. Recovery priorities, legal duties, safety requirements, contracts, insurance terms and technical recovery methods should be validated by the responsible people in the organization.
