Whether your office is located on Long Island, in Mineola, or in a nearby community in the Greater New York area, you can look to us for your business cleaning needs. Read on for some of our top suggestions for maintaining the health and hygiene of your workplace during flu season.
Maintaining a Safe & Healthy Workplace on Long Island
Try implementing the following steps as part of your workplace flu prevention plan:
- Start talking about the flu vaccine early. Encourage your team to get vaccinated against the flu as early as possible, and remind them often about the importance of this flu safety procedure.
- Emphasize the need to stay home when sick. Unfortunately, many people try to “power through” their flu symptoms, bringing the virus to work with them. Have a frank discussion with your staff members about why they should stay home when they feel ill, and let them know that doing so may actually promote office productivity rather than hinder it.
- Encourage healthy hand hygiene. With better hand hygiene, there’s less risk of person-to-person germ transfer. Post reminders about good handwashing procedures in the bathrooms, and provide your team with hand sanitizer in convenient locations in the office.
- Partner with a professional cleaning service. Rely on a high-quality business cleaning service to give your office on Long Island a deep clean on a regular basis. At JAN-PRO of Greater New York, we target high-touch surfaces with our germ-trapping microfiber cleaning cloths and hospital-grade formulas.
- Make disinfection a top priority. Consider asking about EnviroShield®, our exclusive disinfection system, for comprehensive disinfection in your workplace. EnviroShield® kills 99% of viruses and bacteria it comes into contact with and easily treats hard-to-clean surfaces like keyboards and office chairs.
