Avoid unexpected, excessive absences by keeping your contact center staff healthier with these proven ideas.
Before flu season really sets in, help employees stave off illness with these good practices:
- Stock the vending machines with healthier snacks such as nuts, granola bars, flavored water and 100% juice.
- Provide fruit to boost vitamin consumption.
- To get people moving and healthier, hold smaller meetings while walking outside, if possible.
- Create a walking/jogging route around your office area that can be covered in a half-hour break. Organize walking groups and keep the route posted.
- Encourage employees to get annual physicals.
- Work with your benefits coordinator to offer flu shots on site.
- Encourage sick people to stay home to avoid the spread of more illness.
