San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 2, 2009 -- Teletrips (http://www.teletrips.com), the leading provider of web-based tools for Intelligent Work Environment planning, administration, monitoring and reporting is pleased to announce the release of its newest tool, My Response (http://my-response.com). My Response (http://my-response.com) is a personal readiness assessment and planning tool specifically designed to help individual employees prepare for and rapidly adapt to the dramatic operational changes they will face during a man-made (e.g., freeway accident) or natural (e.g., H1N1) crisis situation.

A pandemic is a business issue - one that could adversely affect operations and employees in any organization. While employers have a clear responsibility to protect employees and mitigate risks associated with business disruption, there is general agreement that very few organizations are ready to deal with the direct and indirect consequences of a widespread pandemic occurrence.

Ian Gover, President & CEO of Teletrips says, "public and private sector organizations around the world are struggling through the risk assessment and action planning processes and the majority do not have the tools in place to manage operations / communications in the event of a crisis situation. Because of this, it falls on employees to take their own initiative." Gover went on to say, "Recognizing this gap, Teletrips developed a free, on-line tool that allows individual employees to take action by assessing their level of risk and developing a personalized action plan to mitigate that risk should they be required to work from home in an emergency".

By registering for My Response (http://my-response.com), individuals are taking the first steps in understanding their individual business continuity risks and pledging to take action to insulate themselves and their organizations.
