The Influenza A [H1N1] pandemic has the potential to create major disruptions for employers. Here are the questions every employer should consider now:

If the situation were to escalate:

• How will your organization conduct its business if employees are not able to physically report to the office?
• If you have to ask employees to stay at home, how will this affect productivity?
• If an employee has a child that cannot go to school, will work still get done?

Telework programs provide flexibility to keep an organization running.

Past experience has shown that companies with successful telework programs can continue to operate and even thrive when the workforce is suddenly forced to stay away from the office. Contingency planning is just one reason a growing number of employers are integrating telework and other alternative work arrangements into their operations.

If you do not have a formal plan, now is an appropriate time to consider your needs.
