It is not just during the Winter months that illness can strike, bugs and viruses can affect people at any time, most likely being passed from person to person without even knowing they are coming down with something.

As the weather gets warmer, bacteria thrive, which can leave your employees open to risk from infection from bugs and viruses. Entire departments at work can be off work at any one time and the impact those absences have, on your business could be felt for months.

We have put together a few tips to help prevent these nasty bugs in the workplace

  • Fit hand washing stations throughout the building – extra ones that are not in bathrooms or kitchens will also serve as a reminder. A good place would be to fit them outside the office door and asking employees to use them before they enter the room first thing in the morning, so those that come in to contact with dangerous bacteria whilst travelling on public transport, can leave it outside.
  • Offer sanitising wipes for desks and equipment to tackle those less obvious and invisible germs
  • Encourage staff to eat in shared staff rooms and common areas rather than at desks where there are up to 21,000 germs per square inch on a desk. (Only 50 per square inch are found on a toilet seat)
  • If a member of staff does become sick, send them home straight away and make sure there area is cleaned to prevent any lingering germs from spreading throughout the office.
