TrainingBriefs® Let’s Not Shake Hands

Physical Distancing in the Workplace

New Micro-Learning! Using good judgement and good hygiene – while following organizational policies – can help prevent the spread of workplace sickness - without upsetting others. Refusing to shake hands can be dicey - even uncomfortable. There is definitely a right way to maintain respect while adhering to social distancing policies.

Additional Information

Shaking hands is culturally accepted as our main form of greeting each other at work – and even outside of the workplace. When we have to stop this activity, people tend to feel uncomfortable, question the intent or even ignore the new standard. All three options have associated risks – from getting others sick to jeopardizing a relationship.
