pandemic Support
The Swine Flu pandemic has highlighted the importance of an effective corporate disaster recovery policy. Many organisations believe that at the peak of a severe pandemic, up to 75% of the workforce may be absent from work. PPC offer a range of services to support your organisation with rapid help, or future planning, specifically focused on the human side of pandemic management and resilience.
Planning and Preparation
Consultancy (Planning)
Our highly experienced consultants will work with you to review your current policies and provide recommendations that will fully support you in the development of effective, tailored, pandemic response procedures.
Training (Preparation)
Our disaster response trainers can work with your staff to ensure they have the skills, support and confidence to respond quickly to deal with a pandemic or crisis situation. These include:
Critical Incident Training: A robust training programme to support key staff in dealing with a Critical Incident such as a pandemic.
Response Management: Training those on the front line to manage enquiries and concerns from people in distress.
Interpersonal Responses: Helping managers to support staff – remotely, to avoid risks of contagion.
Business Continuity: Helping staff keep the business function, in person and remotely, in a situation where a workforce is likely to be heavily depleted.
Response
PPC’s Pandemic Support Line: A 24/7 hotline where employees and managers can get information, advice and support. This service includes a medical helpline where employees can speak directly to a doctor with questions regarding symptoms, medication and steps to manage and minimise risks.
Post Trauma Support: 24/7 Freephone trauma support enabling employees and managers to speak directly to a counsellor. In order to reduce the impact of post traumatic stress responses and defuse the immediate effects of the incident. The Trauma Support service is provided telephonically to avoid the risk of contagion.
