At GOJO Industries, Inc., we believe that greater well-being isn’t just about innovative solutions—it’s about the people behind them.

That’s why we’re launching GOJO Forward: Industry Interviews, a new series that brings direct insights from the experts shaping the future of well-being through casual chats over a cup of coffee. Through these conversations, we’ll explore timely topics with scientists, engineers, and market thought leaders, uncovering the facts, trends, current thinking, and what’s ahead, as it pertains to some of the day’s most relevant topics in our space of health and well-being.

To kick off the series, we’re talking about winter well-being—and, more specifically, norovirus, one of the most persistent and contagious viruses that makes its mark during the colder months. Norovirus outbreaks can cause serious disruptions (or worse) in schools, workplaces, foodservice establishments, healthcare facilities, and really anywhere, including homes.

How does it spread, and what can facilities do to be proactive about preventing the chain of transmission? To help answer those questions, we sat down with Dawn Yeomans, Ph.D., Research Principal – New Products Innovation at GOJO.
