The flu is a common and contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and, at times, lead to death. The flu can also have a significant impact on businesses, leading to lost productivity and absenteeism, as well as adding pressure to our already stretched healthcare system.
One of the best ways to protect employees from the flu is to offer flu shots at work. Flu shots are safe and effective, and they can help to reduce the spread of the flu in the workplace.
If you work for an Australian or New Zealand business, you may have the option to get a flu vaccination at work. To take advantage of this benefit, contact your People and Culture team or the Health and Wellbeing team. They will be able to provide you with more information on how to schedule your flu shot at work.
Flu shots are a win-win for businesses and employees alike. By offering flu shots at work, businesses can help protect employees from the flu, reduce absenteeism, and improve productivity. Employees can benefit from flu shots by reducing their risk of getting sick, developing serious complications, and missing work.
