Please head over to our blog for the most up-to-date information on Coronavirus:
Given the recent events in China and the further spread of the Coronavirus (also known as COVID-19 or the Novel Coronavirus) into Europe, it’s time to think about how you can provide information to staff which will help reduce sickness absence as a result of common colds and influenza.
Fear of the unknown and feeling like we have a lack of control certainly contributes to further panic. But what’s important is learning what there is to know at the moment, and how this information can help us to take preventive measures, whilst also knowing what to do if further action is needed. Thankfully, there are a few things that can be done.
With this in mind, we felt it was our duty to use our expertise and resources to provide a free online awareness video about the Coronavirus.
