Business continuity company offers advice for dealing with swine flu

28/04/2009

As increasing numbers of people become infected with swine flu, one business continuity company has issued advice on how organisations can prepare to deal with the disease should it reach pandemic level.

Link Associates recommended that companies look after their personnel first and foremost, updating records of their staff's contact details so they can be called in a crisis and revising company travel policies in line with official advice.

It also advised companies to conduct tests of the home-working strategies that form part of their business continuity plans, to ensure that they will work should employees be ordered to stay at home.

Link Associates also advised that companies "keep a perspective on what is being reported".

It added: "Early in a crisis, speculation can get in the way of hard fact."

Swine flu has killed more than 100 people in Mexico. So far two people have been confirmed as cases in the UK. They are both of being treated in a hospital in Scotland.
