Keeping Your Company Safe

Keeping Your Company Safe

We made it through the worst of Covid, and now we’re more aware than ever of viruses like influenza, RSV, and hMPV. That’s why it’s so important for your company to prioritize the safety and well-being of your employees and customers. Here’s how you can provide peace of mind for the health-smart.

Implement rigorous cleaning protocols.

Frequently disinfect high-touch surfaces like door handles, keyboards and countertops. Use EPA-approved disinfectants and make sure your staff is trained in their application.

Encourage frequent handwashing among employees and customers.

Install hand sanitizing stations at entry points and throughout your premises. Display signs to remind everyone of the importance of hand hygiene.

Implement health screenings.

Conduct daily health screenings for employees, including temperature checks and symptom assessments. Encourage anyone who feels unwell to stay home and seek medical advice. For customers, consider non-invasive temperature checks at the entrance.

Provide personal protective equipment (PPE).

Supply your employees with masks and gloves, especially if they’re in customer-facing roles. Encourage customers to wear masks while on your premises and provide disposable masks at entry points for those who need them.

Adopt contactless solutions.

Minimize physical contact by implementing contactless payment options, digital receipts and online appointment booking systems. Use QR codes for menus, brochures or other informational materials. Invest in training programs to educate your staff on the latest health and safety protocols. Regularly update them on new guidelines and encourage a culture of safety and responsibility.
