Business Continuity Strategy
Part 3: BCS - Minimum Resources Required during a Disaster
Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster
CBF-1 Dispute Management and Advisory Services (via TADM)
In the context of Business Continuity Management (BCM), determining the minimum resources required during a disaster is critical for ensuring the timely resumption of essential services.
This chapter focuses on the Dispute Management and Advisory Services offered through the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM), a key function of Tripartite Alliance Limited (TAL).
The services provided under this function directly support employees and employers in managing workplace disputes efficiently and fairly.
To ensure the continuity of these services during a crisis or disruption, each Sub-Critical Business Function (Sub-CBF) must have predefined minimum recovery resources allocated to specific recovery locations.
This table presents the necessary resources required—such as manpower, workspace, telecommunications, computing devices, and other critical tools—for each Sub-CBF to remain operational during a disruption.
