  "We're going to have to get over the mind-set that you can't be productive from home," said Andrew Spacone, crisis manager at Textron Inc., a $9.5-billion diversified maker of items ranging from Cessna jets to EZ-GO Golf Carts.
  
  "At some point in time -- earlier as opposed to later in a pandemic situation -- we will be telling employees not to come in to work," added Spacone, who spearheads disaster planning for the Rhode Island-based company's 47,000 worldwide staffers.
  
  "Bringing somebody into the office to do something for another day, if that person becomes infected or ill or infects other people -- the loss is going to far outweigh having that person stay home that day," Spacone said.

  "We have a moral obligation to protect our employees because they spend most of their days with us," says Andrew Spacone, crisis manager at Providence, R.I.-based Textron Inc., the $10 billion manufacturer of such products as Cessna airplanes and Bell helicopters.
  ...
  "There are a myriad of employee-related issues surrounding a pandemic," says Spacone, pointing to such human resources questions as pay and sick policies, emotional issues, union-related issues and protecting the health of employees and the facilities where they work.
  
  Textron plans to staff call centers to create a central hub for communications on a corporate level.Eight-hundred corporate office employees have received training about the avian flu, its potential impact on Textron's business and what they can do to lessen the effect.
  
  The company also plans to leverage its technology, including e-mail communications, an avian flu link on its medical emergency response Web site, backup telecommuting plans and workaround plans for those who can work remotely.
  
  "We like to think we're better prepared than most to get through this," Spacone says.
