Any law firm that has been through a flu epidemic understands the value of flu prevention programs. Here are some of the things that law firms are doing to help control a flu outbreak:

·         Offer free flu vaccinations for employees and discounted vaccinations for family members

·         Make hand sanitizers, tissues and similar items easily accessible.

·         Have mandatory education programs on flu prevention.

·         Enforce a policy of sending sick employees home.

·         Pre-establish telecommuting options so sick employees can work at home.
