It can also include details on sick leave and other relevant. Checking your sick leave policies is critical, as having sensible rules makes it easier for people to choose to stay at home when they are ill.
Stock Up on Cleaning Products
Your business will require all the necessary cleaning items to ensure it stays safe during the flu season. You will need a variety of commercial disinfection items, such as:
