With the World Health Organisation (WHO) upgrading the level of the swine flu/H1N1 threat to global pandemic status (external website) yesterday (11 June 2009), it is increasingly essential that employers ensure that they have a contingency plan place to deal with the workplace implications of an influenza outbreak.
Fortunately, there are extensive online resources on hand to help HR professionals prepare. These include:
- XpertHR's model policies and documents service offers a model flu pandemic contingency plan (subscription required).
- Consultants Mercer have published a checklist to assist HR professionals in assessing their swine flu contingency plans (external website).
- My colleague, XperHR managing editor Jo Stubbs presents an essential guide to online resources on swine flu contingency planning for HR professionals.
