Flu Prevention

Why Flu Prevention?
While it might seem miniscule, flu prevention is worth investing in. When flu season strikes, you could be faced with rampant absenteeism and lost time, which ultimately hurts your bottom line. Luckily, you can prevent this by investing in flu prevention promos that will keep workers happy, healthy and hard at work.

Encourage Easy Vaccination
The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated early. See if there’s room in the budget to bring in a specialist to administer free flu vaccines to interested employees. Then, spread the word about this initiative by having your HR department pass out health-related promos like miniature packs of tissues. You can further encourage action by raffling off prizes to all employees who get their flu shot.

Promote Flu Prevention
Even with the flu vaccination on your side, prevention is crucial for keeping employees in good health. Make sure your staff has all the tools they need to keep germs at bay, such as travel-sized hand sanitizer or branded water bottles to promote hydration. And most importantly of all, make sure your employees can distinguish the flu from the common cold with informational pamphlets. When in doubt, stay home!

Get Well Soon Giveaways
Despite your best efforts, employees may still get sick, so be sure to invest in products that will get them back on their feet quickly. Cold and flu care kits will have all the essentials like cough drops, tissues and thermometers. Hand out branded mugs so workers can keep the warm fluids going while they’re on the mend. Last but not least, moisturizers and lip balms will keep noses and lips from getting chapped from frequent nose-blowing, which your staff will surely appreciate while they rest up before returning to work.
