And i once tried to show a new team member the ropes washing, and accidentally turned the whole thing into a foam party! A good tip is to remind everyone to scrub for at least 20 seconds — singing ‘Happy Birthday’ twice usually does the trick. Effective communication about these little things can make a big difference in our health standards.
I’ve noticed that having a little laugh while washing can make a big difference. I once tried to beat my own record for scrubbing, and let me tell you, it’s amazing how quickly those 20 seconds can fly by! @francois_j56, maybe a quick timer challenge could spice things up for your team too.
You’d be surprised how just a bit of music can change the mood during handwashing. A fun beat helps not only to stick to the scrubbing time but also makes it more enjoyable for the team. , it drives me nuts when people rush through it, thinking they’re saving time when they might just be spreading germs instead! @csmith99, have you tried a handwashing challenge? It’s a great icebreaker for new team members.
