Office Depot Displays Disaster Preparedness Strategies
Office Depot recently conducted a Hurricane Preparedness Contest for Small Businesses, to help small businesses prepare for a potential disaster. Each of three winning businesses received a $5,000 Office Depot gift card and a special on-site consultation with a business continuity expert.
The Office Depot Hurricane Preparedness Contest for Small Businesses was developed to underscore the importance of readiness planning and demonstrate the availability of simple, affordable solutions to safeguard a company's most important assets: its people and its data.
