A pandemic (/pænˈdɛmɪk/ pan-DEM-ik) is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of individuals. A widespread endemic disease with a stable number of infected individuals is not a pandemic. Widespread endemic diseases with a stable number of infected individuals such as recurrences of seasonal influenza are generally excluded as they occur simultaneously in large regions of the globe rather than being spread worldwide.Throughout human history, there have been a number of pandemics of diseases such as smallpox. The most fatal pandemic in recorded history was the Black Death—also known as The Plague—which killed an estimated 75–200 million people in the 14th century.[2][3][4][5] The term had not been used then but was used for later epidemics, including the 1918 influenza pandemic—more commonly known as the Spanish flu.
Current pandemics include HIV/AIDS and COVID-19

The C Suite, EAP and Organizational Mental HealthCG Hylton Inc.
How Managers Make a Difference in Organizational Health
EAP in the C Suite: Influencing Organizational Health.
The productivity of any organization is dependent on a number of factors: leadership, teamwork, engagement, morale, as well as employee well-being. The EAP, while concentrating on employee mental health and wellness, has the opportunity to link directly into adjacent areas. Why is it problematic? Not only do most organizations fear scrutiny, and change, but employees are mindful that the confidential EAP is there for the employees and their dependents, not so much the employer. They know the EAP is not a vehicle for rants or critiques of the organization, and above all else they are keen not to breach EAP confidentiality. So how does one square this circle?
Reaching beyond the traditional bounds of EAP requires imagination, courage, and a desire for change in organizational culture. Working closely with the Executive team or the Human Resource department, which is always committed to better engage staff and management, the EAP can provide certain baseline information to guide the engagement process. Without compromising confidentiality, the keystone of any EAP, the EAP can at intake or follow up, add in generic quality of workplace, engagement, and job satisfaction questions, where aggregated data to ensure confidentiality, would complement other data gathering processes.
In this way the EAP could serve as a thermometer of corporate health and wellness. Problematic areas could be defined in more detail with a larger employee sample, and further engagement processes with staff developed.
Through staff focus groups, interviews or other engagement sessions, the EAP could lead the charge about broadening the EAP from simply being a mental health and wellness program for employees to a broader mandate.
Traditional EAP clinical usage data, when married to organizational mental health data manifested in a myriad of files relating to critical incidents, lost time accidents, disability claims, prescription drug usage, employee satisfaction survey data, and other employer files, can yield a wealth of knowledge about how to improved employee and corporate health and wellness, along with the bottom line.
File management is key to managing the ever increasing forms, letters, documents, agreements, that flow within the organization. Learn how to do this effectively.
Managing conflict in the workplace is challenging at the best of times. In this light hearted yet effective presentation learn the does and dont's of conflict management.
