Importance of office cleaning in improving productivity at workA messy office can create an unhealthy atmosphere in the workplace. It will also hamper productivity because the employees won’t be happy, according to an article on the Business Matters website.
A messy work environment can mean employees are routinely compromising on the quality of work. With this in mind, the expense of a professional cleaner can prove to be a worthwhile investment, the article said.
An infographic on the Marketing Profs website suggests a clean, orderly office actually helps the bottom line. The infographic, by Cleaning Services Group, offers those reasons and more for keeping a workspace spic and span.
For instance, if the carpets are old and their colors have faded because of use and dirt, it could create a negative impression on prospective clients.
But the easiest way to improve productivity at work is keeping the employees happy by giving them a cleaner cubicle to work in. Installing drawers or keeping the dustbins and tables clean can be the first step.
A clean workplace — plus a pleasant, clean smell in the air and bright colors on the walls — can go far to improve the productivity. When employees walk into the office, they should feel a welcoming vibe.
Of course, a clean, productive workplace is more then getting rid of the messy piles of papers – it’s the germs that the mess may be hiding. According to the The Cleaning Services Group infographic, the average employee loses nine working days a year to sickness, some of which may be attributed to lack of workspace hygiene.
