Five advantages to planning your employee flu clinic now

Every fall and winter, we hear a lot about the flu, short for “influenza.” It is a disease that can result in missed time from work, hospitalization and sometimes even death.

Managing the health and safety of your workforce is more important than ever. So as we head into the flu season, it's crucial that people around you get vaccinated to keep themselves and their loved ones safe from the flu.

By planning a flu clinic at your organization, you:

1. Demonstrate that safety is a top priority

With hybrid and remote work on the rise, it’s more important than ever to offer a safe environment for employees. Providing flu shots to your employees lets them know their health and safety are a top priority. We can seamlessly incorporate flu shots into a comprehensive solution that also includes biometric screenings.

2. Simplify employee access

On-site clinics provide a convenient way for employees to get a flu shot at your workplace and minimize time missed from work.

3. Minimize sick days and absenteeism

Planning now will help protect your company’s bottom line and keep employees happy and healthy. One study estimated the flu resulted in $16.3 billion in lost earnings over just one flu season.

4. Improve productivity during flu season

By providing avenues for employees to take charge of their health during the flu season, you help them stay healthy. Businesses experience fewer dips in productivity when employees are in their best health.

5. Reduce workplace uncertainty

Some things are unpredictable, but flu vaccinations are a reliable way to protect your employees against the flu. Scheduling now will allow you to have peace of mind heading into the flu season. It’s more important than ever to keep your employees happy and healthy, whether they work on-site or remotely.
