You've been working hard in our vibrant coworking space, and we're all about fostering creativity and growth. But let's talk about something equally important – your health. As the winter season comes into full swing, we are sharing six easy and practical tips to make sure you – and your coworkers – make it through the flu season safely.

1. Hygiene Heroes Unite!

It might sound simple, but good hygiene is the first line of defense against illness. Always wash your hands thoroughly, use hand sanitizers stationed around the space, and make friends with those disinfectant wipes for your workspace. It's a small effort that goes a long way.

2. Mind the Distance

We love collaboration, but let's be mindful of personal space. A sneeze travels faster than we think, and nobody wants unexpected air mail. Respect each other's space and maintain a safe distance, especially in common areas and during those brainstorming sessions in boardrooms.

3. Stay Home When Needed

We get it; you're a go-getter. But sometimes, the best way to contribute to the team is by taking care of yourself. If you're feeling under the weather, do yourself and your coworkers a favor – work from home. La Place is all about flexibility, after all!

4. Shared Snacks, Not Germs

You know we love a snack break, but let's keep it clean. Use utensils or grab snacks with clean hands to avoid transferring any unwanted surprises. Grab a hot beverage from the in-office cafe, but remember to wash your cup thoroughly! (SBK Living has a great Natural Lemon Ginger Cold Remedy Tea you can try making yourself!) 

5. Health is a Team Effort

Lastly, let's look out for each other. If you notice a coworker feeling a bit under the weather, offer a friendly elbow bump instead of a handshake. Small gestures can make a big difference in preventing the spread of germs.

At La Place, we're not just a coworking space; we're a community. By adopting these easy habits, we can ensure that our workspace remains a hub of productivity, innovation, and, most importantly, wellness. Let's keep the La Place vibe alive and well!
