Snow is on its way again. Around here it's due Thursday afternoon continuing on Friday and possibly the weekend. At the moment the forecasters seem a bit vague about how much there might be but what if it's as bad as the last snowfall?

Many businesses suffered significantly in the last bad weather with employees stranded at home and offices barely manned. However, after a few days the panic is over and things go back to normal. Ways of avoiding business disruption are forgotten.....until it happens again!

Preparing your business for disruption does not have to be costly or difficult to implement. Facilitating employees working from home as if they were in the office not only helps when they are stranded but can also be a positive factor in attracting and retaining good staff.

There are several products which could help your business.

• With MyInbound you can redirect calls to your employees' homes or mobiles or other branches at the touch of a button. You can set up pre-planned disaster recovery plans, or create a new plan to instantly come into effect. Read more about call management solutions.

• Hosted IP Telephony. Work from anywhere there's an internet connection and have all the same telephone functionality as if in the office.
