38-packing-correctlyVery often our work requires a great number of business trips; that is why every person who plans to go on a business trip needs to know how to pack things correctly.

Never pack as you go. Do not throw the things in your suitcase in the last minute, because more likely you will forget some stuff. It is recommended making up a list with the most essential things. This list will help you not to grab things that you don’t need and to be focused on the things you need.

Be sure not to take clothes that do not match. Organize your outfit at home; choose simple colors that can be matched with different colors and styles. Choose very basic things that can be appropriate for different meetings and gatherings.

Save space while packing. Shoes are the best place for small things like stockings. Don’t forget to use this space.

Also place your clothes into plastic bags, because plastic helps to reduce frictions. In plastic bags your clothes will be less wrinkled.

Good luck in your business trips!

36-hand-sanitizer-at-workExperts say that offices tend to have much more germs than other territories. What are the dirtiest things at the office? The answer is easy…the phone, computer and your desk. Scientists say that there are 400 times more bacteria on your desk than on an average toilet seat.

So, do we need a hand sanitizer at work?

YES, we need it.

Hand sanitizer at work will help you to get rid of bacteria, but you also need to remember that you need to wash your hands as often as possible and disinfect your workplace, telephone and computer with special disinfecting wipes.

It is recommended to keep a bottle with hand sanitizer on your desk.

Also place several bottles in public areas, kitchen (if you have one) and in a break room. If there is a special phone or other equipment in your office that is used by many people, place hand sanitizers near them too.

It is not recommended placing hand sanitizer in the restroom, because employees may substitute washing hands by using sanitizer. You need to remember that some bacteria cannot be killed by hand sanitizer that is why it is highly recommended washing the hands as often as possible, especially when the flue season starts.

Be healthy and take care!
