Throwback Thursday: cold & flu season

Well I don’t know about you, but I can certainly feel the coming’s on of a cold this week, and so apparently can everyone in my office…

This week’s Throwback Thursday looks at colds and flu in the workplace and how they can affect workers.

In March 1990 SHP looked at a research study which revealed a link between infection with influenza virus and a decreased ability to perform manual tasks. It also noted that respiratory diseases may change performance efficiency and increase the risk of accidents, both at work and in everyday activities such as driving.

In this episode  of the Safety & Health Podcast, ‘Burnout, stress and being human’, Heather Beach is joined by Stacy Thomson to discuss burnout, perfectionism and how to deal with burnout as an individual, as management and as an organisation.

We provide an insight on how to tackle burnout and why mental health is such a taboo subject, particularly in the workplace.
