QuickTips for
employers to plan now for upcoming flu season
The Department of Labor and three other federal agencies
announced new guidance for employers to plan and respond to the upcoming
flu season. The guidance, released by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, provides employers with help
on preparing now for the impact that seasonal and 2009 H1N1 influenza
could have on their workers and operations during the fall and winter.
Plans should include encouraging workers with flu-like symptoms to stay
home, allowing highly-susceptible staff to work from home and encouraging
workers to get flu vaccinations.
