One of the most important activities employers can do during the flu season is to promote positive health habits among employees and customers in order to prevent persons from becoming ill during the flu season.  For example, posters displayed in employee work areas, break rooms, and public restrooms can go a long way in making persons aware of positive health habits.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has  posters that are available for downloading and printing:
