Cold and Flu Etiquette

Feeling under the weather and not sure if you should go in to work? Your answer should be no!

If you were unlucky and were hit with the cold, flu, or even allergies, check out these helpful tips from our etiquette expert, Diane Gottsman!

  • Get the flu shot - may not guarantee against getting the flu, but it's the best protection you have.
  • Stay home and seek medical attention - go to the doctor sooner rather than later.
  • Skip the hugs - your business associates will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
  • Sneeze into your left arm or shoulder - this keeps your right hand sanitary and free for handshaking
