FOUR WAYS TO GIVE FLU THE COLD SHOULDER
Flu season presents a major challenge for businesses, so Paul Jakeway, Marketing Director of hand hygiene expert Deb, highlights four ways to reduce the impact of illness on productivity.
Winter is just around the corner – and with it comes flu season, meaning potential bad news for organisations. Minor illnesses are already a major issue for businesses, causing the loss of 34 million working days each year. However, this year could prove to be even worse.
The NHS fears that this winter could bring the worst flu season in history, based on infection rates across Australia doubling since last year. It might not seem a big deal to the UK, but the antipodean nations are often seen as an effective forecast for how much of an epidemic we can expect to face.
28 | WINTER MAINTENANCE TOP TIPS FOR FLU
PREVENTION: Employers and employees everywhere need to be ready for this, so here are our four top tips for avoiding the flu this winter:
1
TAKE VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS A recent review of existing research
suggested that supplementing food with vitamin D would prevent millions of cold and flu cases, and possibly save lives.
It is still an ongoing debate among experts, but they all agree with the latest guidelines for vitamin D that everyone should consider taking
supplements during the winter months to boost their chances of avoiding cold and flu viruses.

KEEP AWAY FROM FLU SUFFERERS
We all know someone who has come into work dosed up on hot lemon to keep them going, even though they have a raging cold. Unfortunately for those around them, it would have been better had they stayed at home. This is because flu-containing particles exhaled by a sick person can travel at least six feet, which puts other workers at risk of infection and harms productivity across the workplace.
