Business Reboot Programme

What is the Business Reboot Programme?

The Covid19 pandemic and the measures that have been introduced in response have been the ultimate disruptor to the way that businesses – locally, nationally and globally – operate. Businesses now have to consider how they get back to business, and overcome the challenges and barriers that will come with this. 

Delivered as part of the DCSDC Business Boost Programme and with support from the Strabane BID, the Business Reboot Programmewill support owner-managers to look towards getting back into full swing and re-growth as well as considering how to adapt their business model to reflect the new realities of life.

What does the programme involve?

  • 5 compulsory workshops aimed at laying a foundation for your re-emergence, sustainability and growth post Covid19

Workshops Include:

  • Health and Safety considerations for reopening to protect staff and customers; 
  • Managing the HR Implications of COVID 19 for employers; 
  • Manging Employee Relations and Concerns;
  • Communication Strategies to Build Customer Confidence
  • Design and Develop a bespoke 90 Marketing Recovery Plan
  • Access to bespoke one-to-one mentoring from an experienced consultant whose role will be to challenge you, to present new ideas to you and to help you to make the right decisions for your business as we emerge from the current adverse trading conditions.
