With the rapid spread of H1N1 Flu in India, it will be a challenge for Corporates to keep a balance between continuing serving customers and keeping workforce healthy. What is the best way to handle it? In India, there are no guidelines issued by the Federal government and hence every institution is taking a call in their own way. Should the government issue a guideline? That is not so simple, experience of handling H1N1 outside India has been a mixed bag. Every country handled it in a different manner. Probably Delhi Chief Minister chose the most politically correct response- It is upto individual institution (in this case schools) to decide. All such public places were closed in Pune couple of days back while it is closed in Mumbai from tomorrow. Whether these decisions are right, only time will tell.
So what if your company operates out of Pune, which is the epicenter of the flu? You have to make sure that your workforce does not get impacted at all. We took this call yesterday night and from today, We have allowed our employees to work from Home so that we can serve our customers without interruption and also prevent people from getting affected. The second important aspect is the access to latest info on the disease as the Government is taking a lot of steps on daily basis. We have decided to send mails to everyone on latest advisory and updates every day. DO let me know if something else can also be done?
Cheers
