Altura Provides Customers with Business Continuity Planning for H1N1 Flu Threat

FULLERTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altura is preparing businesses to maintain critical customer communications functions in the wake of the H1N1 Flu threat. With over 5.7 million people already reporting flu like symptoms, now is the time to prepare a business continuity plan.

“We recognize having a plan in place right now for resources such as agents, supervisors, trainers, and management to be able to operate makes good business sense. The ability to remotely connect and do their work from their homes/remote offices is critical for businesses hit with the impact of H1N1.”

An excerpt of some of the CDC Preparedness and Response Recommendations regarding the 2009 H1N1 / influenza season for business. “Even employers in communities that have not yet felt effects from 2009 H1N1 influenza should plan for an influenza outbreak this fall and winter, and be ready to implement strategies to protect their workforce while ensuring continuity of operations…public health officials may recommend a variety of methods for increasing the physical distance between people (called social distancing) to reduce the spread of disease…spacing workers farther apart in the workplace…moving work to other less affected locations, and recommending work-from-home strategies for workers that can conduct their business remotely.”

“Our customers are concerned about the H1N1 Flu epidemic effect on their work force,” said Bob Blazek, president and CEO of Altura Communication Solutions. “We recognize having a plan in place right now for resources such as agents, supervisors, trainers, and management to be able to operate makes good business sense. The ability to remotely connect and do their work from their homes/remote offices is critical for businesses hit with the impact of H1N1.”
