RSA Corp Extends Special Aid to Clients and Employees after Hurricane Ike
Houston, TX (PRWEB) September 24, 2008 -- RSA Corp, a Houston-based business technology services (http://www.rsacorp.com/rsa_services.html) and IT staffing firm (http://www.rsacorp.com/search_staffing_services.html), weathered Hurricane Ike and initiated its disaster recovery plan to address operational capabilities, employee needs and client relations. Crisis IT support was available to all clients beginning early Sunday. RSA employees were offered financial aid and extended time-off.
"We can't ignore the human aspect of this catastrophe," said George Black, Galveston resident and CEO at RSA Corp. "This recovery will take a long time, personally and professionally. RSA has to play a role in rebuilding people's lives, not simply the business technology operations of our clients."
As a Houston-based company, many RSA employees were impacted by the storm. Some lost their entire homes. RSA made interest-free loans available to employees who sustained damage to homes and property. Employees impacted by the storm were given a week to take care of family and property before returning to work full-time.
In addition to offering recovery services to clients, RSA Corp executed its own business continuity plan (http://www.rsacorp.com/business_continuity.html), keeping in touch with clients before and immediately after the storm to ensure continuity of service. Non-technical assistance was provided, such as delivering batteries, newspapers and water. RSA also researched viable alternative locations for business operations and provided co-location services.
RSA plans to sponsor a Habitat for Humanity home for storm victims later this year, in addition to organizing Rock Fest 2008 - Guitar Hero Tournament and Concert for a Cure (http://www.firstgiving.com/rockfest2008), a fundraiser benefiting Alex's Lemonade Stand and the fight against childhood cancer.
