Why cleaning matters: health and productivity as a business strategy
In the bustling heart of Worcester, Cleaning Technique has been revolutionising the commercial cleaning landscape for over three decades. Our expertise spans a wide array of services, from scheduled office cleaning to deep cleans, carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning.
But beyond the sparkle and shine, there’s a profound reason why our services are indispensable: the direct correlation between cleanliness, health, and productivity. Understanding why cleaning matters isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about adopting health and productivity as a business strategy.
The hidden costs of poor workplace hygiene
The workplace is a second home for most employees, and its environment significantly impacts their well-being.
Poor workplace hygiene can lead to a plethora of health issues, including allergies, respiratory problems, and the spread of infectious diseases. These health issues not only affect the individual employee but can also lead to high levels of staff absence, disrupting the workflow and reducing overall productivity.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development has found in their latest report from 2023, that sickness absence levels have risen sharply since before the pandemic, and are at their highest levels in over a decade. It is clear that workplace health is a serious issue!
A clean workspace is a healthy workspace. At Cleaning Technique Ltd, we emphasise the importance of regular, thorough cleaning to mitigate these risks and maintain workplace health. Our services ensure that dust, allergens, and pathogens are kept at bay, fostering a safer and healthier environment for everyone.
Enhancing productivity through a clean environment
Productivity is the cornerstone of any successful business strategy, but it’s not just about reducing sickness absence (although caring for your employees’ physical health is undoubtedly a priority). Mental health is now the biggest driver not only of sickness absence but, studies show, of dissatisfaction within the workplace as well.
A cluttered, dirty workspace can be a significant distraction, leading to decreased focus and efficiency. On the contrary, a clean and well-organised environment promotes better concentration and a sense of order, which are crucial for maintaining high productivity levels.
Research consistently shows that employees are more productive in clean environments.
For instance, a study conducted by the American Journal of Public Health found that employees working in clean offices were 12% more productive than those in unclean environments. Employees who work in clean environments are generally happier and more satisfied with their jobs. This, in turn, reduces turnover rates and fosters a positive workplace culture.
At Cleaning Technique Ltd, we take pride in creating environments where employees can thrive. Our tailored cleaning solutions ensure that every business, whether it’s a small office or a large commercial space, receives the attention to detail it deserves. When employees see that their health and well-being are prioritised, it enhances their morale and loyalty to the company.
Prevention is better than a cure
Workplace health is not just about reacting to problems as they arise but also about preventing them in the first place. Regular cleaning acts as a preventative measure against the spread of illnesses. This is particularly crucial in shared spaces like offices, medical facilities, beauty salons and dental practices where germs can easily transfer from one person to another.
Our cleaning services at Cleaning Technique Ltd are not only designed to address these concerns comprehensively but in a manner that is completely tailored to the needs of your business specifically.
From sanitising high-touch surfaces to deep cleaning carpets and upholstery, we ensure that every nook and cranny of your workspace is free from harmful pathogens. By maintaining high hygiene standards, businesses can reduce the incidence of sick days, ensuring that employees remain healthy and productive. What’s more, because we don’t do “off the shelf” packages, you will get a truly bespoke service, only paying for what you need, and making sure you get what you pay for!
