Last Friday DD Ganguly, our CEO, guest blogged on Silicon Valley Watcher - Avoiding 'SOS' - sick office syndrome. As he mentions, the first precaution the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists in their worker guidelines this flu season is:
Stay at home if you are sick. The HHS/CDC recommends that workers who
have a fever or chills and a cough or sore throat to stay at home until
24 hours after their fever ends (defined as 100 degrees Fahrenheit
[37.8 degrees Celsius]), without the use of medication.
The OSHA employer guidance recommends planning for "social distancing" if disease severity increases, including:
- Consider using flexible work arrangements such as telecommuting
and staggered work schedules to reduce the number of workers who need
to come into work at the same time.
-
Think about ways to eliminate face–to–face meetings between staff and
with clients – use conference calls, webcasts, and other technologies
to conduct meetings.
Hopefully we won't reach a level of increase severity, but it's better to be prepared if that happens. Dimdim free web conferencing lets you meet with up to 20 people as often as you need, without costing you anything. It includes a free telephone conference call number, the ability to share your desktop, slides, whiteboard, and web pages.
If you are new to the concept of web conferencing, watch this video. Then see our Getting Started pages to learn more.
What steps are you taking to protect yourself and your company? Having suffered through the flu myself recently, I've been spending time helping customers do everything they can to be ready. I'd love your thoughts too.

OK, so it's not a remedy but it WILL prevent the spread of the virus while ensuring you can still meet freely. Tell everyone you know: don't cancel your business because you have to cancel your trip. Use Dimdim via any web browser and you can still meet - and breathe - freely from the comfort of your home or office.
Remember, meetings up to 20 participants are FREE (sign up for Dimdim Free and start using it within 30 seconds) and a full year of unlimited Dimdim Pro meetings with 100 participants is less than the cost of one round-trip flight: $468 for the year (that's only $39/month). Sign up for Dimdim Pro today.

It’s been called the biggest job crisis of the last half-century (Worst year for jobs since '45, CNN), a head-numbing economic freefall that seems to have no end.
With the jobless rate climbing to 7.2 percent in December 2008 (Jobless rate jumps to 7.2 percent in December, MSNBC), a growing number of unemployed workers are thinking now is the time to set out on their own. Even those with jobs are contemplating exit strategies in this increasingly uncertain job market.
This post isn't to announce a new business venture, rather it's to help those interested in taking a more entrepreneurial approach in addressing these troubling economic times. We've partnered with Sramana Mitra and Simply Hired to organize a free webinar where Sramana will discuss all aspects of entrepreneurship. For those who don't yet know Sramana, she's a successful entrepreneur, Forbes columnist, and author of Entrepreneur Journeys (more on her bio page).
This free webinar is at 11 a.m. PST (2 p.m. EST) Wednesday Jan. 14. To learn more and register:
