Cold & Flu Season: 6 Office Cleaning Best Practices to Keep Everyone Healthy and Safe
Watermark

Despite our best efforts with vaccines, diet, regular exercise, and vitamin supplements, cold and flu season inevitably strikes twice a year. The old saying "prevention is better than cure" holds true. In an office where people interact closely, reducing risks is essential to easing the season's impact.

1. Keep It Clean

Germs spread quickly via hands, clothing, and breath. Encourage staff to use hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to keep their workspaces, keyboards, and phones clean and germ-free.

2. Care Packages

Boost morale and health by providing care packages with Kleenex, vitamin C, fruit, and cleaning wipes. Supply face masks and promote social distancing. Encourage sick employees to stay home without penalty to prevent spreading illness.

3. Step Up Routine Cleaning

Increase cleaning services, especially in communal areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Pay extra attention to high-touch surfaces such as toilet handles and stall doors. A heightened cleaning presence reassures clients and keeps the workspace safe.

4. Address Moisture Issues

Prevent germ growth by addressing damp windows, water leaks, and other wet areas. Ensure proper ventilation to maintain clean air and reduce condensation.

5. Invest in Air Quality

Use air purifiers to filter out germs, bacteria, and viruses. Regular maintenance of HVAC systems promotes a healthier workspace and reduces sickness.

6. Encourage Sick Employees to Stay Home

Support a culture where employees feel comfortable taking time off when sick to rest and recover, preventing the spread of illness. This approach benefits long-term productivity and overall workplace health.

Conclusion

Implementing these six office cleaning best practices can significantly reduce the spread of germs during cold and flu season. Encouraging cleanliness, providing care packages, increasing routine cleaning, addressing moisture issues, investing in air quality, and supporting sick employees to stay home create a healthier, more productive workplace. By taking these proactive steps, you can help ensure that everyone stays healthy and safe throughout the season.
