Hygienic, clean workplaces are healthy workplaces. Even if a building or workplace seems clean, bacteria and germs may be buried, waiting to contaminate the next person to come along. That is why, detailed, regular commercial cleaning is critical – whether the building looks clean or not.
Absenteeism can cost a business anywhere from thousands to millions of dollars every year. Decreasing the incidence & spread of workplace ailments has real impact on output, and limits the number of sick days employees need to take.
Listed below are the top 3 ways to make your workplace healthier & reduce lost output because of employee illness:
Schedule regular touch point cleaning:
In your commercial building touch points are the “hotspots” that are touched frequently as people pass through. These are the main locations for cross-infections, making them the most important places to get cleaned on regular interval.
Some examples of touch points are:
• Coffee makers
• Phones
• Bathroom faucets
• Stair railings
• Door handles
• Elevator buttons
These touch points need to be disinfected regularly – particularly during flu season. It is the best thing you can do to prevent the spreading of infection & illness.
Encourage frequent hand washing in your workplace:
Did you know that only 1/3 adults clean their hands after coughing or sneezing? Yet hand washing can dramatically reduce sickness. It is so simple, but so critical.
Employers must promote & encourage hand washing all through their organization. It is a cost-effective way to help personnel stay healthy.
Improve indoor air quality:
Employees spend most of their time inside their office or workplace. If the indoor air quality is poor, it can aggravate allergies and illness, causing regular absenteeism.
Indoor air contaminants include dust mites, dust, bacterial mould, chemicals from particular cleaning products, and so on.
Listed below are a few proven way to enhance indoor air quality in your office or building:
• Right ventilation (and ensure the vents are not obstructed by furniture or anything else!)
• Make sure your commercial cleaning firm employs vacuums with HEPA filters.
• Place doormats outside and inside the entry point to the building to catch some of the dirt and dust as people enter.
• Make sure your professional cleaning unit employs safe cleaning products with lesser chemicals.
• Maintain your HVAC system regularly
• Make sure moisture levels are between 30 percent to 50 percent humidity in the building.
A clean and healthy workplace will help your employees be at their best throughout the year by decreasing the spread of illness, reducing the impact of flu season, and helping allergic staffs breathe easy.
