This year we face a potential global workplace crisis as the Swine (H1N1) flu re-emerges. According to the Washington Post “Swine flu could infect half of the U.S. population this fall and winter…” As mentioned in the Huffington Post “Millions of businesses are developing contingency plans and continuity of operation plans to keep their businesses and operations going if and when critical employees are out…In just a few weeks, a significant number of American businesses could have their operations negatively affected by swine flu. “

We understand that small businesses are struggling with how to enable their employees to be productive especially when they are not able to physically be at the office. In this time of worldwide illness we see that many are looking to technology to create a collaborative working experience where employees can be productive no matter where they are or what device they have to engage with.
