Are Hand Sanitiser Still Necessary in Retail Establishments?
Across the UK, you can see that life is returning to a semblance of what it was like a few years ago. Restaurants and other nightlife establishments are open, as are retail businesses. Week on week, restrictions are being lifted and places of work are far more accessible to consumers. Whilst this is great for businesses to get back to a greater level of normality, there are still certain considerations that companies should be keeping to ensure customers feel safe and secure. Here at VKF Renzel, we firmly believe all businesses should have hand sanitiser bottles scattered throughout their establishment. It is the new norm to regulate good hygiene within businesses. Take a read through this blog to see why we believe it is imperative to have hand sanitisers as a hygiene solution in your place of work.Reduced Transmission
Arguably the most important point of investing in hand sanitisers is keeping transmission rates to a minimum. Unfortunately, there are certain individuals that do not realise the importance that each small action has on impeding the spread of the virus. However, by just having hand sanitiser accessible in your workspace, it will reassure your consumers as they know your business is more hygiene secure - you reduce the spead of germs in your own small way, as all these minor acts implemented build up to a national defense.
If all businesses can do this, the likelihood of more restrictions, or worse, another lockdown will be far less likely to happen. Thus, this enables businesses to continue operating and benefits everyone. It also keeps hygiene levels high, a new common practice within any industry. It is important to provide staff, workers and customers with a place to sanitise. This will keep hygiene levels high within your business practice.
Improved Shopping Experience
It might not have been something that immediately comes to mind, but no one can disregard the impact that hand sanitisers can have on the overall experience of your consumers. If you implement hand sanitisation areas in your premises, you are being proactive as a business and attempting to produce a safer environment. This immediately puts you above any other businesses that are not optimising hygiene solutions, especially when you are compared to your direct competitors. When onlookers see that you are taking additional steps to reduce transmission, they will immediately come to realise the extra lengths your business goes to, to keep your consumers, employees and working environment safe, clean and germ free.
All customers can get behind a company with good hygiene, as it reinforces a company’s reputation as a professional organisation. This should help you justify your decision to purchase a handful of sanitiser dispensers for your business, not just for you and your employees but your customers also.
Other Safety Options
Although there is much to be said about hand sanitiser dispensers, it is important that you recognise that these are not the only pieces of safety equipment that can be implemented to great effect. Therefore, we would recommend looking through our Hygiene & Safety range to see all of the hygiene products we have on offer. These products compliment each other by keeping your working environment safe and clean. Implementing other hygiene solutions into your business will ensure your business is more hygienic, which therefore makes your business more welcoming and suitable for consumers – considering the current climate.
For example, foldable face shields can be a fantastic option for those of you with large staff rosters - this is particularly relevant if you are a public-facing organisation. In the retail sector, you need to ensure that your business is actively trying to protect both your staff and your customers. With these in your possession, you are heading in the right direction to ensuring your business is safe and hygienic.
