Each year about 20% of the Australians get affected by influenza. So, it is obvious that some of the employees of your company too will be affected by it in the coming season. The effect of influenza can be quite debilitating not only for the affected persons, but also for his family members and also for the company in which they are working. Generally, a man affected with flu takes around a week’s leave, and if his condition deteriorates, the sick leave may extend much more. This affects his work productivity and if there are a number of employees suffering from flu, it will disturb the productivity of the company as a whole, and it will run in losses.
We all are aware of the fact that flu can be destructive to our society, and hence we should take necessary preventive measures so as to keep ourselves healthy and save our company from getting into losses. One of the best ways to cope this up is to host corporate flu vaccinations programs in workplaces. Investing in hosting such programs for vaccination every year is far better than running your businesses into losses. At the end of the day, you will feel glad to see your staffs attending office regularly and the staffs, on the other hand will feel happy and satisfied working in such a company where the employers are concerned with the health of their employees.
