British businesswomen will tell a conference in November how their American-owned companies coped with the loss of staff in the WTC attacks.
Liz Taylor, public sector practice leader at Marsh UK, and Wendie Le Vey, client services director at Aon Ltd, will explain how their organisations undertook a review of their continuity plans as a result of 11 September.
They will urge delegates to place the health, safety and welfare of their staff at the top of the corporate agenda at the annual conference of the South-East region of ALARM on 6- 7 November.
Liz Taylor said: "After September 11th we all asked ourselves `do we practise what we preach?' From Marsh's perspective the answer is `yes, our plan worked in the most extreme of circumstances, but there were lessons to be learned - particularly in handling the welfare issues of the survivors and the bereaved families."
Other issues under discussion at the Conference include the need for effective risk management of school trips, fire prevention in schools and other public buildings and sickness absence.
