BCP PlayBook: CSS Corp's resilience frameworks drew 'CHEER's from employees, customers

The COVID-19 crisis has hit businesses harder than ever before. Although many large companies had a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place that they can fall back on in case of emergencies, but they fell short of expectations during this unprecedented crisis. In fact, sustaining the Business Continuity amidst the lockdown, social distancing, adapting to the 'New Normal' of remote work didn't quite go without hiccups for organizations across India.

Through the CIOL 'BCP PlayBook' series, we will try to give you a glimpse into the strategic Business Continuity Plans of various organizations across industries including the plan, the execution, the benefits they got from their updated BCP initiatives.

CSS Corp stepped up its preparedness to handle the crisis by using a proprietary resilience framework, which helped it to implement work from home for its 7,000-odd employees across 18 Global locations by March 23.

In order to stabilize operations, it constituted a virtual command centre to monitor all global client projects and programs, and update daily status reports.

The company digitalized all the HR functions and implemented virtual hiring, onboarding, and training of the employees. It also created a 'CHEER' framework for employee wellbeing and boosting team engagements. Communicating with teams, highlighting teams’ accomplishments, energizing the staff, engaging employees, and recognizing the workforce are the key parts of the framework.
