Preparing Your Business for H1N1 and Other Infectious Diseases
In response to confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza (swine flu), both the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization (WHO) have issued alerts.
Public health officials predict that worker absentee rates will increase over the next several months. This includes not just sick employees, but people who need to care for others who are sick and those who are avoiding the workplace out of fear of getting sick. For some businesses, the impact can be disastrous, so it is crucial for businesses to plan ahead.
Whether you call it business continuity, crisis management, contingency planning, disaster or emergency preparedness, or some other term—it all boils down to making sure your organization is prepared to survive a crisis. This means ensuring that essential business functions are maintained.
In this seminar we will show you the concepts of business continuity planning and how you might apply them to your organization. You will see proven methods for keeping your business in business during a massive workforce loss. We will also explain how to respond to infectious disease emergencies and protect your employees during a pandemic.
By planning and preparing now, you can mitigate hardships in the future.
