6 Ways Commercial Cleaning Can Boost Productivity In Your Workplace

  • Written by NewsServices.com

With growth comes more responsibilities. The bigger your business gets the more resources you need to keep it running the way it should. And one of the things you should never overlook or skimp on as your business grows is the cleanliness and safety of your workspace. Your employees deserve a clean and safe work environment. Data shows that cluttered, chaotic, and untidy workspaces cost businesses $2.5 million a year due to loss of productivity. So how do you avoid loss and inspire productivity in your employees? Simply, hire an expert commercial cleaning company to take care of the cleaning for you.

Common sense suggests that with less time wasted looking for things you need, a clean and tidy workspace can lead to more productivity. More, people working in a clean and well-organized environment are less stressed, more focused, and feel better about working in their environment. How does this happen? What is the link of productivity and commercial-quality cleaning? Here are some of the most important reasons why a high standard of cleaning can impact your business productivity. 

Fewer Sick Days

While no one has an invincible immune system, keeping your environment clean and free of disease-causing bacteria and germs, as well as dirt, dust, grimes, molds, mildew, and various allergens can help you keep your staff healthy and limit their sick days. Last thing you want for your business if miss a large number of your staff due to an outbreak of an infectious disease in the workplace, right? Also, clutter and disorganized workspace expose people to unnecessary risks. Accidents such as trips and falls are quite common in workspaces.

Did you know that an average desk harbors over 10 million types of bacteria? That actually makes a regular office desk 400x dirtier than a toilet seat. As a result, unclean desks account for over 2/3 of employees at risk of falling ill.

Getting your workplace professionally cleaned is the best way to avoid this. Obviously, you can encourage/teach your staff better cleanliness and hygiene practices and ask them to clean their desk regularly (before and after the shift). But how can you really police that? More importantly, how can you make sure they are doing it correctly, and safely?

Traditional cleaning solutions contain harmful chemicals such as ammonia, formaldehyde, and sodium lauryl sulfate. While these are effective in killing pathogens, they can also cause health problems ranging from skin and eye irritations, allergies, and even respiratory problems for people susceptible to it.

Also, there is no doubt your workplace bathroom is riddled with germs – they are used throughout the day by multiple people. Bathroom door handles, faucets, and toilet bowls are common areas for bacteria and various germs thrive.

Expert office cleaning West Perth cleaners have the expertise and access to safe, natural, and non-toxic cleaning solutions. They also know how to effectively clean various types of surfaces and break the chain of infections in your workspace on a daily basis. 

Saves you time

Time is the most valuable resource in any business. Keeping your workspace clean, tidy, and organized takes time. And if you are asking your employees to do all this extra work, then you are taking their time away from the most important thing – which is to actually work for your business.

Cleaners from commercial cleaning in Brisbane for example, are well-trained to help businesses, regardless of industry, maximize their time in their workspace by cleaning everything first thing in the morning for a clear and fresh start. This gives employees the ability to start their work as early as they want. 

Saves you money

When you hire professional cleaners, they come to your facility/workspace fully equipped and geared up to do the cleaning. This means you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on cleaning equipment, tools, materials, and solutions to keep your workspace clean. Often, cleaning equipment requires maintenance and repairs that can go from hundreds to thousands of dollars too. 

Improves Concentration

Clutter makes it difficult for people to focus on given tasks. Various stimuli can easily overwhelm a person, making it difficult to allocate attention and concentration to complete tasks efficiently.

Expert cleaners will not only clean and disinfect your workspace, but they can also help you tidy up and organize everything, giving you the best environment for concentration and focus. 

Improves workspace morale

People love to work in an environment they feel comfortable and secure, that is what cleanliness can do. When your employees arrive in a clean environment, they are ready to carry out their tasks effectively, work better with each other, and their creative juices are flowing; all because of high morale. 

Better staff retention

You want to keep your best employees, right? Well, the best way to do that is to keep them happy. While bonuses and promotions are great, they also want a workspace where they feel happy to work every day. That is what a welcoming, clean, and comfortable workspace can do. Expert cleaners can ensure all of your employees get the superb cleaning they need and deserve in every corner of your facility. Discover why Commercial Clean Group is the leading cleaning company in Brisbane, renowned for its exceptional commercial cleaning services that exceed client expectations. If you'd like to know more about commercial cleaning check out CIC Facility Services
