Our Business Cleaning Experts at JAN-PRO of Tampa Bay and their Flu Prevention Tips
Implement the following practices to make your office a safer and more sanitary work environment this flu season:
- Encourage your staff to maintain good hand hygiene. Better hand hygiene means a lower risk of person-to-person germ transfer. Help your team remain aware of their hand hygiene by posting handwashing reminders in the office bathrooms. In addition, put hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes in convenient locations throughout the office so that your staff can keep their hands clean after touching frequently used objects.
- Remind your employees to get vaccinated against the flu. Getting vaccinated is the most effective thing you can do to prevent the spread of the flu. Remind your staff early on about the importance of the flu vaccine, and provide them with a list of clinics near the office where they can get vaccinated.
- Have a discussion about taking sick days. Surveys have shown that over 50% of workers will come to work even when they’ve come down with the flu. Emphasize to your staff members that they should stay home when they feel ill and that doing so can even protect their co-workers’ health and office productivity.
- Hire a professional cleaning company. Business cleaning services have access to professional equipment and resources that fight the flu and keep your workplace safe. At JAN-PRO of Tampa Bay, we utilize innovative tools like microfiber cleaning materials and targeted techniques to get rid of germs on high-touch surfaces throughout your office.
- Make thorough disinfection a priority. Ask about comprehensive disinfection with EnviroShield®, a JAN-PRO exclusive system. EnviroShield®’s non-toxic, eco-friendly formula eliminates 99% of bacteria and viruses on all types of surfaces, making it a great choice for business offices in need of thorough disinfection.
