Steelhenge Releases Pandemic Influenza Information Pack for Businesses to Aid Pandemic Planning and Increase Business Resilience
Steelhenge Consulting, specialists in business continuity management and pandemic planning, have produced a comprehensive pandemic influenza information pack, designed to help businesses stay up and running through the swine flu pandemic
Salisbury, United Kingdom, September 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Steelhenge Consulting, a leading business continuity management and pandemic planning consultancy, has produced a free pandemic information pack, designed to help organisations manage the so called ‘swine flu' pandemic. The pack contains a comprehensive slide pack of consolidated information on the H1N1 virus that businesses can use to ensure all staff are well informed, a flu pandemic planning checklist of ten critical actions that can help all businesses be more resilient during a pandemic and a generic staff awareness sheet in the form of a 'Swine Flu' flyer, that can be customised for internal use. To obtain this pack, organisations simply need to contact Steelhenge. For more information, visit www.steelhenge.co.uk or call 0845 094 2117.
Although there remains uncertainty about how the pandemic will evolve, a second wave is still predicted as people return from summer holidays and children return to school, allowing the transmission of the virus "The UK's recently updated pandemic planning assumptions on absence from work remain unchanged so we felt that this was a good time to release the information pack as some straightforward steps taken now will help avoid issues later," explained Isobel Nicholas, Director of Marketing and Communications for Steelhenge.
The pandemic pack draws upon information released by the UK government designed to help businesses plan for the impact of pandemic flu. "As the data contained in the slides is based on UK government pandemic planning assumptions, our pandemic pack is naturally geared towards the situation in the UK," commented Isobel. "However, there is a great deal of information that would be useful to businesses and organisations regardless of location. Any organisation that takes the threat of the influenza and the potential impact of staff absenteeism seriously and plans accordingly, should not only maintain their services in the event of the worst case pandemic scenario, but will also be more resilient once it's over. The time spent planning will not be wasted and the pandemic planning pack will definitely help in that process."
