This year has seen a significant rise in the number of reported flu cases and severity of symptoms. Because it is predicted to continue on for several more weeks, and it has been reported that many are experiencing more than one onset of the flu or cold via different strains per season this year, it is important to take precautions to protect the health and well-being of your workplace. Lost productivity can cost your company and its employees money, as well as incur significant stress.
Ensuring that your office or work space is stocked with adequate tissue, disinfectant spray and disinfectant cloths will help reduce the spread of viruses while work is in session. Remember, it can take only one sick employee (who might not realize yet that they are ill) to potentially impact productivity and attendance of all other employees who might have been exposed. Safeguarding that your work space is clean and sanitized and that employees have access to these tools during working hours will help prevent a widespread sick-out. Sending memos to staff to remind them to regularly wash their hands and disinfect their work areas during the day can help reduce exposure, as well as ensuring policies are in place for sending ill employees home and offering adequate PTO to those affected will help reduce the impact on your business.
