Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Recent global health emergencies have shown that infectious disease outbreaks can disrupt organisations for months, affecting staff availability, supply chains, customer demand and the way work is done. Organisations that had prepared were able to protect their people and adapt quickly, while others struggled with improvised responses.
This Pandemic and Infectious Disease Preparedness for Organisations training course provides a practical approach to planning for and managing prolonged health-related disruptions. Participants learn how to assess outbreak risks, develop a preparedness plan, protect workplace health, manage absenteeism, maintain critical services, support remote working and coordinate with public health authorities.
The course draws on lessons from recent outbreaks and focuses on flexible plans that can be scaled to different levels of severity.
