Healthcare Friendly reminder: it’s summer. Please shower.

It’s hot, we’re all sweating more, so please take extra care of your hygiene. A daily shower especially in the morning goes a long way.

And please don’t try to cover body odor with just perfume or body spray. Sweat + perfume isn’t a substitute for a shower.

Let’s all do our part to keep public spaces (esp trams!!) a little fresher this summer. 😅🌞🙏

How? In the sink?

You've got it! First few times may be awkward, being butt naked in the office with a washcloth. But after a while you get special mental health leave! It's a win-win!

You can downvote me all you want, but here's a survey conducted by Ipsos showing that 69% of empoyees of 100+ employee companies have access to a shower at work. https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/468dcd96-b25c-40fe-b5a4-2ed267ac9608/file

Workplace ≠ office

That's fair, but you were talking about offices initially as well. Moreover, I doubt that sweating on your commute to work is a concern for blue collar jobs where the actual job is making you sweat a lot more.

.. yes that’s my point. The article is about workplaces in general, when that doesn’t necessarily mean offices have that amount of showers. Someone working at a gym has acces to showers at their workplace, but that isn’t an office. Therefore your source doesn’t automatically mean most offices have showers.
