Are you prepared fro Swine Flu?

You might think that the Swine flu crisis is over. There have been few reported new cases in recent days. Can we all relax. Well, perhaps!

The problem is that a new variant of the virus might rear its head ... with greater effect.

Do we just deal with it when it happens. In a way, yes .. but it does make sense to do whatever you can ... like reviewing policy and practice on home working. Many organisations are looking at such issues - usually with a view to saving money on additional property costs as the firm grows. But home working could be a useful way of stopping a new strain of Swine Flu spreading through your workforce.

So, one thing you can do now is to check which of your IT systems might need to be modified to allow access to data at home - in a secure manner.
