The stomach bug and understanding of communicable disease helped save the Shaw Festival during the Pandemic | https://ramlcpa.link/cmzzHow the Shaw Festival kept 500 people employed during COVID — by taking out #pandemic #insurance three years ago. About three-and-a-half years ago, #CEO of the #ShawFestival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, decided to undertake some risk analysis alongside his #CFO. He looked at potential problem areas .... and came to a shrewd conclusion: .... The festival should take out an #insurancepolicy against the threat of a #pandemic.
The policy covered the interruption of planned performances by communicable disease. As a consequence of that remarkable #foresight, the Shaw Festival has been able to do the basically impossible ....... thanks to the coverage, Shaw’s are among the only #actors, #musicians, and #theatre workers in the #world who still have #jobs. Jennings says, reflecting on this extraordinary stroke of luck. “It wasn’t actually genius. It wasn’t about this pandemic at all — it was about #communicable #disease.” ..... Shaw employs a rotating repertory ensemble; if one of his actors got the #flu, ten of them could, and that might stall a show. “We took it out for the whole season, thinking that if six actors got ill and we had to shut down for two weeks, we might lose two million bucks,” #ramlcpa #riskmanagement #businessplanning https://ramlcpa.link/cmzz Tags:
