Protecting people starts with prevention, not reaction
As September arrives, so does the start of cold and flu season; a time when viruses can spread quickly in shared environments like workplaces, schools, and public buildings. For facility managers, this is the ideal time to take proactive hygiene measures that protect people and reduce absenteeism..
Why Proactive Hygiene Matters
Each year, illness-related absenteeism costs Canadian businesses billions in lost productivity. In schools, absences impact learning and strain staff resources. Public buildings risk reputational damage and user concerns when hygiene standards fall short.
A reactive approach is no longer enough. A proactive hygiene strategy helps keep environments safe and people confident.
