With COVID-19 and the flu, keeping your business clean and safe is essential. We compiled some tips to help you keep your employees healthy this winter.
Up the Cleaning
Consistent, professional cleaning is essential, and you can even increase the amount of cleanings. In addition, increase cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces. You can also encourage employees to wipe down phones, keyboards, door handles, and other objects after they use them. The following are known to carry more germs than you can imagine:
- Light switches
- Phones
- Bathroom and company kitchen faucets
- Elevator buttons
- Desktops
- Office equipment
- Water cooler
- Coffee maker
- Vending machines
Stay Home
Encourage sick employees to stay home and avoid spreading germs around the office. Offer ways for sick employees to work remotely if it’s feasible.
Vary Your Shifts
If you can, consider staggered shifts for employees. Staggering shifts minimizes the amount of interaction that employees will have with one another, which could lower the risk of transmission.
Go Online
Online meeting fatigue is real, but it does prevent contaminating other employees. If you can, increase the amount of virtual meetings and in-person events during flu season. Instead of a holiday party, host a summer BBQ when you can have an event outdoors and during warmer summer months.
