Flu Season is Approaching!

With flu season approaching fast, there are several things your company can do to help protect its workers and help the company reduce absenteeism.

Consider holding a flu clinic as part of a wellness program at your worksite. Visit Workplace Vitality at www.wpvitality.com for more information.

Post notices throughout your building reminding employees and visitors of preventative measures they can take to help stop the spread of the flu. Posters and other helpful information can be downloaded from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov/flu/business.

Have disinfectants and facial tissues readily available throughout your workplace.

Review your current leave policies and consider implementing or re-issuing your Severe Influenza Pandemic policy.

Remind employees that if they are sick, they should stay home.  Create a culture where employees are not pressured to come to work when they are sick.
