Berlin, Germany -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2021 -- COVID-19 has had a seismic impact on many areas of the economy and specialists in risk management have been forced into a rethink of many previous approaches. This is something that is starkly reflected in recent data from the Business Continuity Institute drawn from a survey on business risks. The survey is carried out on an annual basis and this year it identified non-occupational disease as the number one business risk in the opinion of the 365 global business continuity and risk management professionals. This is a complete contrast to this time 12 months ago when the same category was at the bottom of the list. 67% of those who responded to the survey from the Business Continuity Institute identified issues with a lack of preparation as the main reason that business was so disrupted by this over the course of the past year. In a separate ongoing survey, which started in 2020 the Business Continuity Institute examined the reasons for this lack of preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures that businesses were taking to respond to the situation. Initial data established that while many businesses had taken steps to allow employees to work from home, providing infrastructure and support to allow for caring for relatives or home schooling were less widespread. In the months that have followed, factors such as wellbeing and work-life balance have increasingly moved up the agenda in operational and risk management terms as COVID-19 has become the number one risk.
