What would be the impact of a Human Flu Pandemic?
Avoiding high levels of absenteeism will be critical to your business’ success during this current pandemic.
Pandemic infection rates will potentially leave unprepared organisations completely paralysed by the absenteeism of key employees. The European Commission for Economic Affairs offers the following guidelines:
Depending on the severity of the Pandemic, absenteeism will range from 25 to 40% of the workforce, with the average employee taking 2 to 3 weeks absence from work over a period of 3 months (this is over and above normal rates of absenteeism).
