This year Global Handwashing Day takes place on 15 October and Kimberly-Clark Professional is embracing the event’s theme ‘Clean Hands – a recipe for health’ by supporting facilities managers with a range of tools to help them champion hand hygiene, health and wellbeing in the workplace.
“With Global Handwashing Day 2018 linking hand hygiene and food hygiene, we wanted to focus on how employees often eat at their desks or in meetings, using their hands and fingers,” says Caroline Stanley, UK head of marketing at Kimberly-Clark Professional.
“With increased ‘hot-desking’ and shared meeting spaces, proper hand washing and drying before and after food becomes even more important to help prevent the spread of nasty bacteria and illnesses.”
Kimberly-Clark Professional has created a special Scott Clean toolkit for Global Handwashing Day which will provide facilities managers with everything they need to engage their guests and employees on 15 October to enhance hand hygiene and maximise infection prevention.
The toolkit includes hand hygiene posters and washroom mirror stickers to display in and around the workplace. Plus, to encourage maximum employee participation on the day itself, there are healthy snacks and hand hygiene postcards to hand out, plus a selfie photo frame and Global Handwashing Day themed novelties. There’s also an eToolkit available for those who wish to spread the word via online channels like email, social media, website, intranet and digital signage.
Free Global Handwashing Day toolkits are available from www.kcprofessional.co.uk/ghd2018
