Imagine having the foresight to prepare your organization for a flu outbreak days before it hits, just as you would for an impending storm. The Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA) at the CDC is pioneering this exact capability.


In our latest podcast, we talk with Dr. Dylan George, Director of the CFA, who shares the parallels between disease forecasting and weather predictions and why the former could help employers to better safeguard their workforce in the future. Listen in to learn how the CFA’s advanced modeling tools can help to anticipate and mitigate health risks, and for real-world examples that illustrate how data-driven decisions can enhance employee safety and maintain productivity.
