Industry Incite: The Skinny on Sani in 2022

1. When staffing is short, opt for ready-to-use convenience sanitation wipes, which virtually eliminate the possibility of erroneous chemical measurements and concentration levels, keeping workers and residents safer. 
2. With supply chain woes continuing, ensure you have adequate sanitation products in stock at your community.  Try ordering ahead of your anticipated needs.  
3. The CDC says there is a low risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) via surface contact, especially when people are wearing masks and their droplets can’t land around them.  But when they aren’t masked, such as during a meal, help to protect residents by using a sanitizing product know to kill SARS-CoV-2 on contact surfaces.
4. Now is great time to revisit cleaning and sanitation practices, especially in the kitchen at your community.  Visit: https://saniprofessional.com/how-to-keep-a-commercial-kitchen-organized-and-clean/ for a handy cleaning and organizational guide.

Team Member Highlite

This month we’re getting to know Sherri Kitchens, Senior Director of Member Success at Incite.

Here are 3 things you didn’t know about Sherri:

1. n addition to her years in operations and having her MBA, Sherri is also a trained chef. Her love of food and cooking began when she worked in her high school’s restaurant, which eventually led her to graduate from the Culinary Institute of America!
2. An avid traveler, Sherri has visited every U.S. state except for North Dakota and Alaska.
3. And speaking of travel, Sherri recently returned from a safari trip in Kenya!  She was able to photograph the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and African/Cape buffalo) and meet members of the Maasai people.  She says of her trip “The Maasai people were welcoming, kind and were great advocates for their land and the animals that lived there.”
