Our Mission: Exceptional Workplaces We are in the people business. Because people are the most important asset. Every day 75 million people, approximately 25% of our population, go to school or college (includes students, teachers and staff). The Healthy Schools Project* is about making their workplace and learning environment exceptional.
Education Segment Overview • Approximately 25 percent of our population goes to school or college every day. Includes student, staff and teachers. • 67% (50MM people) attend public schools in the PK-12 space.

State of the Market The common cold costs people more than 189 million school days per year Student Performance Suffers Parents’ Work is Affected Budgets are Affected

Effects of Average Daily Attendance on School Funding • Absenteeism has an effect on school funding because of the school’s full-time equivalent student count (FTE). The FTE count uses student attendance to determine yearly state, local and national funding allotment per school and district. • Easy equation: Total number of students X cost of student illness absenteeism X number of student sick days per year (average 4.5) = cost of student illness absenteeism • Ask the key question: What is your cost of illness absenteeism per student?
Substitute Teacher Cost Impacts on Schools • Schools spend over $2 billion on substitute teacher pay each year. • Easy equation: Total number of teachers X number of teacher sick days per year (average 5.3) X the daily fee for a substitute = your schools cost for teacher illness • Ask the key question: What is your cost of illness absenteeism per teacher (substitute teacher cost)?
The Critical Question What if we could transform your hygiene supplies budget into a health & wellness program designed to maximize student, teacher and staff attendance and improve overall school image?

Does it Work?: Schools In controlled studies the following was found: Students using Non-Alcohol Sanitizer at proper times in a K-12 setting were 33% less likely to have been absent due to illness compared to the control group. An overall increase in Hand Hygiene behaviour and accessible alcohol based sanitizer products in a University setting resulted in 43% less missed school/work days.

Change the Conversation: Schools District/ Principle Do you know of students, teachers, or staff that come to school sick?What is your cost of illness absenteeism per student? What is your cost of illness absenteeism per teacher? Operations/ Facilities Instead of a cost, have you looked at facilities supplies as an investment to promote health & wellness and maximize student, teacher, and staff attendance? Teachers/Nurses Do you currently have any hand hygiene or wellness programs in place throughout the school? What if you could implement a health and sustainability program that is holistic, visible, and empowers people to better behaviors?
Outcomes District/ Principle Reduced absenteeism and presenteeismfrom students, teacher and staff resulting in increased funding and better performance. Operations/ Facilities Healthier, happier students and teachers that recognize and appreciate the steps the school has taken to protect their health and well being. Teachers/Nurses Healthier students that perform better and are more aware of practicing their own healthy habits thereby reducing germ transmission in classrooms and throughout the facility.
