Responding to Pandemic Influenza: Ethical Considerations for Business Leaders
Pandemics such as SARS or influenza have the potential to disrupt nearly every aspect of society on both a local and global scale. Places of business which produce the goods and services needed to keep a society functioning also play a role as gathering points from which the disease can spread to customers and employees. Faced with the simultaneous challenges of keeping necessary goods and services flowing and minimizing the spread of disease, how should business leaders respond to a health crisis that is affecting their employees, customers, vendors, contractors and others in the supply chain?
This whitepaper examines the responsibilities an organization has to its employees, to the community, and to the continuity of the business before, during and after a pandemic influenza, and suggests that values-based leadership can minimize the negative impact a global health crisis can have on lives and business.
