Flu Season is Here: How Regular Cleaning Can Keep Your Workplace Healthy

The Impact of Flu Season on Workplaces

Each year, the flu costs U.S. businesses billions in lost productivity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu results in 17 million missed workdays annually, leading to decreased efficiency and increased healthcare costs. Germs can linger on surfaces for hours, even days, and without proper cleaning, they spread quickly among employees.

High-Touch Areas: The Hotspots for Germs

Flu viruses thrive on high-touch surfaces, making frequent disinfection essential. Some of the biggest culprits include:

• Doorknobs and handles – Constantly touched, they can harbor bacteria and viruses for extended periods.
• Desks and workstations – Employees often eat, drink, and touch their faces at their desks, increasing contamination risks.
• Shared office equipment – Keyboards, phones, and printers are breeding grounds for germs.
• Breakrooms and restrooms – Communal spaces require extra attention to minimize virus transmission.

How Professional Cleaning Helps Prevent the Flu

Routine professional cleaning significantly reduces the presence of flu viruses in the workplace. Here’s how TNT Group ensures a healthier office environment:

Additional Tips for a Flu-Free Workplace

While professional cleaning is crucial, businesses can further prevent flu outbreaks by:

• Encouraging employees to wash hands frequently
• Providing hand sanitizing stations throughout the office
• Implementing flexible sick leave policies to prevent sick employees from coming to work
• Educating staff on proper hygiene practices
