Employers might ask themselves whether their company's restroom "works" for its employees. 

On the bright side, two-thirds of American workers describe their restrooms as “excellent” or “very good,” according to Bradley’s latest Healthy Hand Washing Survey.

This time of year, students of all ages are congregating and settling back into schools and university facilities – and so are pesky germs. Inevitably, more germs lead to more colds and flus for students and staff.
