13th to 19th March 2006

Business Continuity Awareness Week was launched as a Business Continuity Institute initiative in 2001. Since then the week has gone from strength to strength.

The main focus of the week is to encourage BCI members to raise awareness with colleagues and clients and show the growing importance of Business Continuity Management (BCM) as an integral management tool. Centrally, the Business Continuity Institute aims to raise understanding of BCM with leading opinion formers in government and industry.

To enable BCI members to participate fully in Business Continuity Awareness Week, the BCI have produced various resources which are downloadable below:

Salary and Compensation Survey 2005 – published 13th March 2006 to coincide with UK and Europe Business Continuity Awareness Week. The BCI have worked with BC Management Inc for the first time to develop a salary survey which has produced an unprecedented response. Thanks to all BCI members who have responded.
