When the Christmas tree is down and decorations have been packed away, it’s time for another favourite season to arrive. No, not spring. FLU SEASON. Like it or not, this unwelcomed visitor likes to make an appearance between October through May. However, prime time for this culprit is in February.

People tend to be indoors more in the winter, in close contact with others and sharing germs. The drier winter air leaves us dehydrated and more vulnerable. And on top of that, viruses are preserved in colder temperatures, so they stick around longer. All of these add up to a risky time of year, which requires extra vigilance.

To help you combat Flu Season in your organization, we’re sharing three easy ways to give your staff a fighting chance.

Have you ever wondered about hand dryers in public restrooms? Not only are they loud and obnoxious, they usually take forever to properly dry your hands. Most of us give up before the job is done because a line is forming to use the machine and people are getting impatient.
