Complete Guide to Workplace Flu Vaccinations in Sydney

Importance of Workplace Flu Vaccinations in Sydney

BizHealth is one of the leading providers of corporate flu vaccination programs in Sydney. Every year, our workplace flu vaccination programs help keep hundreds of thousands of employees healthy and productive throughout the winter months.

With a program operated by leading experts, our clients include Honda, BlueScope and Bunnings. We help to reduce the spread of flu within offices, warehouses, factories, retail stores, shopping centres and the local community.

On-site vaccinations not only keep your employees healthy but also demonstrate your commitment to their well-being, which can have the added benefit of boosting staff morale. The best time to start your company flu vaccination program is in April, as optimal protection takes about three to four months.

Advantages of Onsite Flu Vaccinations For Employees

There are five distinct advantages to onsite flu vaccinations for your employees.

1. Convenience: Your employees don’t have to take time away from work as their flu vaccinations are provided onsite.
2. Lower Medical Costs: If employees experience complications from the flu, such as bacterial pneumonia or ear or sinus infections, their medical bills can escalate. Onsite flu vaccinations not only help keep your workforce healthy, but they also reduce their medical expenses.
3. Increased Productivity: With fewer people taking sick leave due to the flu, healthy employees won’t need to perform additional tasks or work longer hours to achieve quotas or deadlines. It’s these extra workloads that can lower staff morale and reduce productivity. A healthy workforce is more productive, which can also lead to a greater sense of accomplishment and increased job satisfaction.
4. Peace of Mind: Knowing they are taking steps to keep healthy and avoid catching the flu can give employees a sense of accomplishment. Knowing they have dodged the flu for another year can give them peace of mind!
5. Positive Work Culture: A company that invests in workplace flu vaccinations encourages a positive workplace culture where employees feel valued. This sense of value leads to increased job satisfaction and better mental health.

Advantages of Corporate Flu Vaccinations For Employers

There are five important advantages to corporate flu vaccinations for employers.

1. Less Sick Leave: Workplace flu vaccinations reduce the incidence of flu, which lowers sick leave and maintains a healthy workforce. This maintains your organisation’s productivity and results in happier employees who feel supported by their employer. It’s a win-win situation that saves you money in the long term.
2. Increased Retention Rates: Workplace flu shots show that the company cares about their employees, increasing staff morale, job satisfaction and, subsequently, retention rates. Companies with high retention rates are very attractive to potential employees who actively seek these types of employers.
3. Competitive Edge: Companies that prioritise the health and well-being of their employees are often seen as desirable employers. Potential employees actively seek organisations with a supportive work culture, giving your company an edge over the competition.
4. Fewer Accidents: Employees who feel unwell at work can have difficulty concentrating and focusing. This can lead to workplace accidents that cost your business time and money. A healthy workforce has fewer accidents, resulting in less sick leave and compensation claims.
5. Enhanced Corporate Image: Offering onsite flu vaccinations can positively impact your company’s reputation within your industry and local community. It demonstrates social responsibility and an investment in public health.

Organising Company Flu Vaccinations at Your Workplace

It’s easy to set up a company flu vaccination program. Just designate a vaccination coordinator to contact the team at BizHealth, and we’ll discuss times, schedules, temporary clinic spaces, and locations to create a program that suits your company’s needs.

Factors to consider when organising a workplace flu vaccination program:

• Multiple clinics on the same day to accommodate shift workers.
• Multiple clinics in different locations if your workforce is spread across Sydney.
• Include employee families to reduce potential outbreaks in the community.

We can supply your coordinator with posters and flyers to promote the program, as well as the dates, times, and locations of the onsite clinics.
