John Bruce, Managing Director, Hill & Associates
Tony Pereira, Risk Consultant, Hill & Associates
Over three months of protests have placed Hong Kong centre stage in world media coverage and with few exceptions the international picture being painted is one of chaos and disorder. Indeed, some business sectors such as tourism have been severely impacted, but at the same time business goes on and many aspects of daily business life are only marginally impacted. However, the real economic impact is now becoming more apparent with companies delaying business decisions, the IPO market stalling and long term planning being made much more difficult.
This uncertainty impacts businesses both large and small. In particular SMEs which operate with tight margins and less internal support structure are in danger of being badly affected by the ongoing crisis. That being said, larger businesses are also having to deploy extensive contingency plans with their associated costs. In this briefing and discussion Hill & Associates (H&A) shall address the concerns of members over business continuity and staff welfare by examining existing and possible scenarios which have the capacity to impact both key responsibilities.
Touching briefly on the genesis and continuation of the protests and their potential developments, but concentrating primarily on actual concerns, H&A shall advise members and guests on how best to maintain their business resilience in these challenging times.
