Companies Concerned Swine Flu Could Affect Their Business
Posted by Partnership for Prevention at 3:06 PMA new survey shows that most U.S. businesses are concerned that swine flu will have a negative effect on business if cases are widespread and severe this fall and winter. Most companies said they could handle some swine flu absenteeism, but not without major problems if a lot of workers were affected.
For instance, 73% of participants said their company could avoid severe operational problems if 20% of their workers were absent for two weeks. But if a third of their employees were out for that long, only 44% of companies said they could handle that without having severe operational problems, and only 33% were as confident about their ability to cope if half of their workers were out for two weeks.
