Temperature Checks are NOT effective
 

During cold weather, by the time employees reach an entrance door, their forehead has been cooled too far to get an accurate temperature.  I have seen the same issue when I have gone to appointments such as the doctor and dentist.  This issue has been going on for many weeks and when the weather is cold, I believe we are misleading employees by making them think we are checking temps.

I know there are no perfect answers to the mess we are in, but for sure during cold weather "temps checks" are a clear waste of resources. 

I am confident that the above information can be quickly confirmed by surveying ten companies.
