Is your business prepared for Swine Flu? Following its recent upgrade to pandemic level 6 status you can be certain that Swine Flu will impact every business and individual this coming autumn. From a due diligence perspective, organisations need to plan for how they intend to deal with this known risk.

All businesses will be affected to varying degrees but perhaps the biggest issue faced will be the management of increased absence due to Swine Flu itself, or the fear of contracting the virus in the workplace.

EssentialSkillz have developed a short course, "Swine Flu and You", to inform employees on what they can do to protect themselves from the virus, how they can help prevent it spreading, and what they can do to reduce disruption on day-to-day business. To evaluate the course at no cost or obligation, please complete this form. To view a screenshot from the course please click on the image below.

Swine Flu and You can be easily customised, at very low cost, to incorporate your business's specific policy and requirements. Your customised Swine Flu awareness course will be exported in SCORM 1.2 format to run on your company's own Learning Management System. Alternatively, it can be deployed from EssentialSkillz bespoke Compliance Management System (O-LAS) to ensure you can:

• Achieve a 95%+ completion rate
• Report on who has, and who has not, completed the course
• Demonstrate due diligence and care for your employee's wellbeing
• Reduce the cost of absence this autumn/winter
