With the recent pandemic, providing a clean workplace for employees’ safety is a top priority for companies. From retail stores to warehouses and offices, employees will soon begin to return to their workplace. Where there are people gathering regularly, increased cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting protocols will be needed to maintain a safe, healthy, and productive workplace.
New workplace cleaning and hygiene protocols
Along with distancing in the workplace, frequent hand washing and sanitizing, as well as regularly disinfecting high touch-point surfaces, will be central to keeping work environments clean and safe. Below are three friendly reminders from Let It Shine to help keep the workplace healthy and efficient.
