You Can’t Afford to Leave Well(ness) Enough Alone

One approach to running a business involves encouraging employees to get healthy if they’re not already and to stay healthy. It’s called wellness and many companies think they’re doing enough. With concerns about a Swine Flu outbreak hitting this fall, businesses can’t afford to leave well(ness) enough alone.

Advocates of corporate wellness programs often cite the adage, “A healthy employee is a happy employee,” and it’s not uncommon to hear phrases such as “increased productivity,” “high return on investment,” and “more affordable health insurance premiums” during a conversation on the subject. Their programs address diet, exercise and the need for regular medical checkups. Unfortunately, however, many corporate wellness program directors fail to address environmental factors. And the results of such an omission can be hazardous to a company’s health (a.k.a., “bottom line”).

Frequent and regular cleaning of the corporate environment must take place as part of every corporate wellness program — but not with bleach or other decades-old cleaning products that are ineffective against today’s crop of bacteria, germs and viruses. Instead, the cleaning effort must involve the most-effective cleaning solutions available.

CLEANpHIRST™ offers those solutions in a new class of cleaning products, several of which deliver up to “7 log” efficacy (99.99999 percent kill rate) against even the worst bacteria, mold, mildew and viruses. In short, they perform at levels of effectiveness thousands of times greater than the products you’re probably using now. [Note: You might want to check the labels of the products you keep in your supply area. More than likely, they offer only 99.9% to 99.99% efficacy. Not enough.]

The average American worker misses 5.3 days each year due to illness, according to recent reports, and that number is likely to increase if a Swine Flu outbreak materializes as many experts predict it will.

Don’t put yourself in the position of knowing you could have done more to help your company stay well this fall. Contact CLEANpHIRST™.
