The Public Health Association of Canada is predicting a possible 25-50% workplace absenteeism due to the H1N1 flu in the coming season. It is self-evident that this could be catastrophic to any enterprise. There are a number of proactive steps you can take to reduce your exposure to a pandemic. Educate your employees: Proper hygiene and defense activities are a key to reducing the spread of any virus.  We offer on-site seminars on how to identify a flu, and steps to take to reduce the spread.  Hygiene, work-space disinfection and product choices are important pieces of information attendees will learn.  We are able to assemble a Flu Kit for your staff that includes personal protection products such as respirator masks, hand and surface sanitizers and instruction sheets on how to manage a flu at work and in the home. Business Continuity Plan A detailed plan to deal with a pandemic.  Designed to document decision making processes and criteria, identify key contacts and devise a communication plan in the event of a crisis.  An on-site assessment will be made and discussions with key personnel to create a plan that is distributed across the workforce to ensure the smoothest continuity possible.  Health Optimization Program Improving health and immunity at an individual level with personalized programs for nutrition, lifestyle and supplementation.  A healthy immune system can prevent or significantly reduce the impact of the flu.  This translates into less absenteeism and reduces the cycle of reinfection of other employees.
