It’s time to schedule employee flu shots

Though it’s the heat of summer, flu season can start in two months. It’s time to schedule employee flu shots to keep your workplace healthy this winter.

Making annual flu vaccinations part of your workplace wellness program offers many benefits.

And doing it at your workplace  reduces your costs by decreasing the amount of time employees spend to get vaccinated elsewhere.

When the flu hits, you’ll reduce costs with fewer absences due to illness, thus improving productivity.

Employees like the convenience of getting the vaccine at work. Besides improving their health, it also increases employee morale.

According to an NBC News analysis of CDC data, cases of flu last season were the highest since the CDC first began tracking this information 28 years ago.

No one can predict the severity of the flu this winter. However, the best way to protect you and your employees against the flu is the annual vaccination.
