SIX REASONS TO TACKLE RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS IN THE WORKPLACE
PROTECT AGAINST RISK
Research suggests that even one case of TB could result in up to 50% of your workforce being infected, other diseases can be even more infectious.
ACHIEVABLE STEPS
Relatively simple, low-cost interventions have been found to reduce the spread of respiratory diseases in the workplace by 99%.
MAXIMISE PRODUCTIVITY
People who are ill often lose a high number of days of work before they are diagnosed and sick people can be as much as 20% less productive.
BUILD RESILIENCE
Although each pathogen is different, many of the measures to prevent spread of respiratory pathogens in the workplace overlap. Tackling one disease can help address others.
BRAND STRENGTHENING
Workplaces with strong health benefits are attractive to employees, and healthy supply chains matter to customers and investors.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Research suggests that comprehensive workplace health systems yield a net positive return on investment for companies.
FOR A HEALTHY WORKFORCE
Ending Workplace TB isn't just about individual companies improving workplace health. It's also a movement for change. The private sector can't operate without a healthy workforce and that means action from across the public, private and not-for profit sectors.
