Keyboards can damage your health – Call centre health scares!

March 18, 2010

Now that I have your attention I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to discuss the transmission of viruses such as colds and flu through our places of work. It is a known fact that viruses spread quicker than anywhere else in offices, contact centres and basically any place where people are congregated for large amounts of time. Now there is a school of thought that says we should all be wiping down out keyboards and telephone equipment and using hand sanitisors to reduce the spread of germs at work. I however have a sneaky suspicion that that this drive for super cleanliness is what now makes us more susceptible to germs. I am not saying we should not wash our hands after going to the toilet or cutting down on personal hygiene I am merely pointing out that a few decades earlier we were a lot more resilient to minor illnesses.
