H1N1 FLU PANDEMIC BIZ CONTINUITY PLAN (2009)

With the steady rise in the number of daily H1N1 cases in Singapore, we will need to gear up for the eventuality that our business operation will soon be impacted as the flu bug find its ways into our current workforce. This is unavoidable and we will need to prepare to mitigate the business risk impact.

Under the current situation, the possible scenario that will materialise when some of our staff got infected with H1N1 is as follows:-

1. The team members that are in close proximity and close contact with the infected staff will be issued by health authority quarantine order and asked to stay at home for 7 days.

2. The office may be ordered to shut down for 7 days if a cluster developed in the office with many of the staff reportedly infected with H1N1. Some of the staff will be issued with quarantine order while some may continue to work at alternative worksite.

3. Shifting of Office quipments or files to alternative sites may not be possible as they needs to be disinfected. Disinfection will take about 2 to 3 days before staff that are not infected can return back to office.

What can we do to ensure that business continue unaffected and customers shipment orders are processed as per normal?

1. Work from Home in the event of Quarantine

Staff can work from home by accessing the following system via internet :-

The hut where we cook and spent time discovering our ultimate purpose

Participants had to cook and provide lunch and dinners for the entire teams throughout the entire retreat. This actually fosters teamworks,breakdown barriers and enhances closer communication and relationships among the managers. During the retreats, members participated in team building events and reinforced the esprit de corp spirit within BDP Singapore Team.

The outcome of the Retreat is a purpose statement for BDP Singapore : " BDP, a company, where we excel, CARE & DARE to make a difference!" The acronyms had the underlying message as follows:

C - Communication

A - Action
R - Respect
E - Empathy

D -Determination
A - Attitude
R - Responsibility
E - Engage
