It’s that time again, the cold/flu season is rearing it’s ugly head. Coworkers calling in sick or worse than that, coming to work sick!
As the cold/flu season approaches, it is so important to take proactive measures to keep your office/workplace as germ-free as possible. A healthy work environment not only ensures the well-being of employees but also maintains productivity and morale.
We have come up with some effective tips and procedures that you can use to help prepare for this cold/flu season:
1. REGULAR CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs is through regular cleaning and disinfecting. High-traffic touch points such as doorknobs, light switches, keyboards, and shared equipment should be cleaned and disinfected multiple times a day using EPA-approved disinfectants known to kill influenza viruses.
2. PROMOTING HAND HYGIENE
Encourage employees to practice good hand hygiene. Most workplaces have had hand sanitizing stations throughout the workplace, especially in high-traffic areas since the pandemic. Keeping these stations as well as the hand soap and paper towels in the restrooms and kitchen areas in good order and stocked will go a long way.
3. ENCOURAGE SICK EMPLOYEES TO STAY HOME
Of course this one sucks! Nobody wants to be down a man especially during busy seasons, but preventing the spread of colds/flus and covid is imperative. You may feel ok to make it through your workday, but these viruses can have adverse effects on older people, children and people with pre-existing medical conditions. Implement a flexible sick leave policy that allows employees to use vacation days any sick days accumulated or a work from home alternative.
4. AIR QUALITY AND VENTILATION
Good air quality and ventilation are essential for reducing the spread of airborne germs. Ensure that your HVAC systems are well-maintained and that the air filters are changed regularly. Consider using air purifiers in areas with poor ventilation to improve air quality and reduce the risk of germ transmission.
