Task: Choose one situation below. Identify the potential HR crisis and design a contingency plan to minimize the risk.
1) A major airline experiences a mechanic walkout during the holiday season.
2) The local hospital staff is exposed to a highly contagious disease, which has also begun to appear in the community.
3) Drivers for a nationwide delivery company go on strike.
4) Bus drivers for the city transportation system refuse to work until their wages are increased.
5) The local fire fighters stage a call-in on St. Patrick's Day.
Use a search engine to look up crisis contingency plans. Evaluate at least two plans for realistic implementation. Suggest ways to improve any obvious lack in the plans. Do the plans cover natural disasters, terrorism, protection of electronic assets, or other areas you identify as key for the company represented?
