How to Safeguard Your Office Against the Flu

Flu season is here; learn how you can protect your office from the flu.

Flu season is in full swing and unfortunately, your office is a perfect breeding ground for the virus to spread.   Don't let your employees and business be affected this flu season; try some of these strategies to help you protect your office from the flu.
  1. Promote Preventative Health Measures- One way to protect your office against the flu is by encouraging your employees to take preventative health measures. For instance, you should advise your employees to get their flu shots.   This is the best way for your employees to protect themselves and those around them from the flu.   Additionally, encouraging your employees to drink lots of fluids, take immune-boosting supplements, and get enough sleep can also help them stay healthy throughout flu season.
  2. Practice Good Hygiene- Another way to keep your business safe is by practicing good hygiene in your workplace. To start, you should encourage your employees to wash their hands as often as possible.   They should be especially careful to wash up after shaking hands and after touching equipment that others have handled.   You can also offer hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial wipes for your workers to use.   This will help to keep your office flu-free.
  3. Send Sick Workers Home- Finally, one of the best ways to keep the flu out of your work place is by sending sick employees home. Be vigilant; if you notice an employee start to sniffle and cough then encourage them to work from home or take sick time.   Keeping sick employees out of the office is the best way to prevent the flu from spreading through your office.
