Emergency Preparedness for HR Professionals
Hospital staff members are often challenged to deal with emergencies in the hospital. These may be weather events, pandemics, mass violence incidents, or other emergencies. This presentation will discuss the HR aspects of these emergencies so that HR personnel are better prepared to plan for, and respond to, personnel challenges post-event.
