Businesses turn to remote working following spread of swine flu

There’s been an increase in the amount of small businesses enquiring about remote working technologies following the spread of swine flu across the globe.

The World Health Organisation has raised its flu pandemic threat level to 5, the second most serious level, prompting businesses to look at their remote working capabilities.

Businesses only have to look back to the snowfall in February to realise what a lack of preparation can cause organisations, as these torrid weather conditions ground the entire country to a halt.

Due to the widespread media coverage of the potential dangers of swine flu, there has already been a rise in the need for secure, remote working capabilities. There’s likely to be a continued rise in demands for services like these to ensure that organisations can continue to operate when faced with a crisis.

The swine flu pandemic comes soon after the recent introduction of new legislation regarding flexible working, which is hugely important to business continuity when disasters occur.
