What can businesses do to increase social distance during a more severe flu outbreak?
Employers should think creatively about ways to increase the space between people, while still keeping the business operating. Some options for social distancing are: • cancelling non-essential face-to-face meetings and trying conference calls or Internet-based meetings instead, • cancelling non-essential business travel, • spacing employees farther apart in the workplace, • allowing flexible work hours so fewer employees will be in the workplace at the same time, and • offering telework options for employees.
