The Centers for Disease Control has made available a  Communication Toolkit for Businesses and Employers in order to provide tools to deal with what is predicted to be a heck of a flu season this year - possibly affecting half of us!  The guidance is a hefty 37 pages and contains the following:

• Quick Reference for Business 2009 H1N1 Flu Planning and Response
• A Fact Sheet for Employers - Actions Steps to Keep Your Business and Employees Healthy
• A Fact Sheet for Employees - 8 Ways You Can Stay Healthy at Work
