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 />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. Identiff additional recourse that can be available to employees and their families <br />during and after a pandemic. <br />66
