Swine Flu Outbreak: Proactive Business Response Guide

Course Description:

You thought the Swine Flu outbreak had passed and your organization was left untouched. Well, think again...

U.S. health officials say swine flu could strike up to 40 percent of Americans over the next two years and as many as several hundred thousand could die if a vaccine campaign and other measures aren't successful.

The possibility of a pandemic raises pressing questions and complex concerns about the best way to protect both your employees' health and your organization's economic well-being, like:

• What steps would you taketo defend you organization and your employees against the risk of a widespread outbreak?
