Businesses are now able to access new software to help overcome Covid-19 challenges.
The simple-to-use online tool, delivered in partnership with the risk management consultancy Risk Dashboard, is made up of four sections and takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. Businesses get a traffic light rating for each section, a list of actions to work through and links to trusted sources of help.
Suzanne Caldwell, Cumbria Chamber of Commerce, said: “The Dashboard makes it easy to identify vulnerabilities, gaps, and opportunities from different viewpoints in your business then develop survival, resilience and growth strategies. With Covid-19 causing unprecedented changes, the software allows businesses to think holistically and raises issues that may be overlooked without it."
“There’s a strong focus on operating costs and cashflow, and the information is constantly being updated so businesses can be sure it’s bang up to date.”
She added: “Senior managers are facing difficult decisions in the coming months. The Dashboard gives them flexibility to create a safe return-to-work environment and reduce the risk for employees while they are working from home.”
Businesses can use the Dashboard themselves or work through it with the help of a Growth Hub adviser.
