When your staff members get sick, productivity decreases around the workplace, resulting in fewer sales. Fortunately, there are several simple ways—such as getting cleaning services—to keep your employees healthy throughout the year, even during flu season. Here are a few to keep in mind.  

How to Prevent Workplace Illnesses 

1. Sick Days

Encourage your employees to take sick days when needed. This prevents contagious illnesses, such as the common cold or flu, from spreading. As a result, you’ll have fewer employees getting sick, improving morale and your business results. This will also prevent the spread of illnesses to clients.

2. Flu Shots

Encourage employees to get the flu shot, especially during the winter, when influenza outbreaks are rampant. As an incentive, give them one hour of paid-time-off to get vaccinated. Or, hire a mobile health clinic to provide shots in the office. Doing so will help prevent employees from having to potentially take off several days to recover. 

3. Pest Control 

Insects and rodents are known for spreading bacteria, viruses, parasites, and funguses that can cause serious illnesses. Prevent Lyme, rabies, salmonella, and other diseases by having an exterminator treat your workplace to keep pests out. 

4. Cleaning Services

Carpet cleanings, in particular, improve indoor air quality and reduce allergens that can lead to asthma flare-ups or respiratory conditions. Cleaning services will also disinfect knobs, handles, and light switches and wipe down desks, keyboards, and phones, keeping your workspace pleasant, tidy, and illness-free.
