Follow on Google News | Increased Demand For Pandemic Planning Workshops Demonstrates Good Preparation For Flu PandemicSteelhenge notes increased demand for pandemic planning workshops, with several new public and private sector contracts, indicating that organisations are preparing well to manage the potential impacts of the H1N1 flu pandemic.
By: Isobel Nicholas "Considering that only a few months ago there was concern about whether organisations were taking the threat of pandemic flu seriously, the increased demand we have experienced for pandemic planning workshops since the Mexico outbreak suggests the levels of preparation are being stepped up," commented Isobel Nicholas, Steelhenge's marketing and communications director. "Our scenario based workshops are designed to familiarise people with their pandemic plans and highlight any gaps. Pandemic planning workshops give people a chance to familiarise themselves with their roles in the organisation's response and how they plan to manage staff absenteeism whilst maintaining business continuity, particularly continuity of customer services." "The H1N1 flu strain has spread faster than anyone predicted from the avian flu alerts in recent years," Isobel continued. We're actually very lucky in the UK and Europe in terms of the timing of the outbreak; we have time to be fully prepared for the flu season in the autumn and winter when the effects of the pandemic are expected to be more widespread." # # # About Steelhenge Steelhenge Consulting provides end to end business continuity, crisis management and emergency planning services to a broad range of corporate clients internationally, as well as to UK Government Departments, local authorities, the European Commission and NGOs.
