Did you know that flu can seriously affect your workplace?

Protecting against the flu is a great thing for any business to do for the health and wellbeing of staff.

Employees with flu can take an average of two weeks to recover so vaccinating staff can stop loss of productivity and reduce absenteeism.

The problem for a workplace is that the flu can be contagious before any symptoms show. So it is easy to spread influenza on to other staff members in the workplace. Vaccination is a great way of protecting your staff and your business.

Research shows that for every $20 a business spends on staff vaccinations you can save $115 in reducing lost productivity and downtime (comcare.gov.au).

This year it's even more important than ever to ensure your employees receive a flu shot as the risk associated with Coronavirus (COVID-19) is still real.

Know your business is safe and your staff are protected against the flu.
