How prepared are we?
Plan and Prepare: Mercer helps clients conduct pandemic preparedness reviews, the first step of which is to determine if the organization has developed an emergency preparedness plan and to learn when it was last updated and tested. Mercer then determines if employees are aware of the plan, if it covers all aspects of pay, benefits and policies, and if any locations or functions have separate plans (and if so, whether those plans consistent with the broad plan). When clients don't already have a pandemic preparedness plan in place, Mercer can help them develop one.
