66 <br /> <br />D. WORKFOURCE MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT <br />It is estimated that 30 to 50 percent of the workforce could be impacted by an influenza <br />pandemic. Likewise, an emergency on the scale of an influenza pandemic will have an <br />inevitable psychosocial impact not only on the individuals tasked with directly responding to the <br />outbreak, but the broader population as well. The stresses placed on the workforce by illness- <br />induced absenteeism, the long-term nature of the emergency, and the mental health consequences <br />will need to be addressed. <br /> <br /> 1. Ensure that administrators, managers, and supervisors are familiar with and actively <br /> encourage the use of tools and techniques for supporting staff and their families during <br /> times of crisis. <br /> 2. Educate all staff on Mental Health First Aid. <br /> 3. Educate all staff on nature of DAFN (Disability, Access, and Functional Need) <br />population and etiquette basics. <br /> 4. Identify additional recourse that can be available to employees and their families <br /> during and after a pandemic. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
