Forty-nine percent of employees say their employer has not communicated any special plans or procedures in case of a terrorist attack.

The poll was conducted online among 674 employees who work for clients of ComPsych, an EAP vendor.

Only 15 percent said that their employers had done a thorough job and kept everyone updated on procedures.

Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, chairman and CEO of ComPsych, says, “We are seeing low-level signs of worry.”

Chaifetz says that employers can “defuse the tension” by being attentive to employee’s concerns and by explaining emergency procedures.
