The only book that tackles how to manage the human factors and provide leadership before, during, and after catastrophic events provoked by nature, accidents, or acts of violence. The potential damage that can occur due to inadequate preparation makes this an issue too important to ignore. McKee and Guthridge scanned what advice was now available to HR professionals and found that the guides didn't deal with the human side of catastrophes. Being ready to deal with this human factor can minimise all genres of loss that an organisation may encounter. This work aims to prepare HR leaders to anticipate these emotional and psychological hardships so they can deal with them quickly through the effective practice of three main principles. By adopting these principles and following the lessons that others have learned the hard way, the authors educate individuals to plan thoroughly and act courageously.
