This fall season has parents and schools on alert as they prepare for the arrival of flu season and the potential of the deadly H1N1 swine flu virus. For small business - the main driver of the economy - H1N1 preparedness is critical to survival. Image for a moment that 1/3 of your work force is absent. How will you cope? How will you deal with customers and the day-to-day operations? These are just a few of the critical questions businesses need to ask.
The SBA has released a useful guide, Planning for 2009 H1N1 Influenza to help small business get ready for any impact on their business. Tips include:
- Review leave, tele-work and employee compensation policies
- Determine essential employees and business functions
- Prepare a business continuity plan
Those business who plan now will be ready to adapt to whatever the outcome of the swine flu. Is your business H1N1 ready?
