Experts believe a worldwide outbreak, or pandemic, of influenza will happen someday.
Health and safety of employees remains a number one priority. Employees should be encouraged to stay home
if they are sick to avoid spreading the flu. Planning now will help protect your employees. Evaluate
goods and services and be ready to respond if your services are needed during a pandemic.
.
Some items to consider:
- Carefully assess how your company functions, both internally and externally, to determine which staff, materials, procedures and equipment are absolutely necessary to keep the business operating.
- Identify your suppliers, shippers, resources and other businesses you must interact with on a daily basis.
- Plan what you will do if your building, plant or store is not accessible. This type of planning is often referred to as a continuity of operations plan, or COOP, and includes all facets of your business.
- Define crisis management procedures and individual responsibilities in advance.
