H1N1 Pandemic Planning: A Resources Guide for Managers and Academic Administrators

As part of the University’s pandemic planning, we have developed a Resources Guide to assist managers and academic administrators in planning for and managing HR related activities during the current (H1N1) pandemic influenza. The Resources Guide is available on the University’s Emergency Preparedness website at:http://www.preparedness.utoronto.ca/pandemic/Information_for_Faculty_and_Staff/managerguide.htm

The Guide provides direction and recommendations to managers for managing (H1N1) pandemic influenza in the workplace based on current knowledge of the H1N1 pandemic in Ontario and on current guidelines from local, provincial and national health authorities.

The Guide will be updated as new information becomes available.

Please take a moment to review the Guide.

If you have questions or suggestions about the Resources Guide, please contact your Divisional HR Office or Janice Draper, Human Resources, at janice.draper@utoronto.ca.
