Day-to-day at work, we’re so focused on KPIs, meetings, deadlines and tasks that we often don’t stop and think about the environment we’re working in.
Despite using less paper than ever, clutter still accumulates; whether it’s boxes of new equipment or samples getting delivered, or dusty keyboards and monitors, it all builds up.
An untidy and dirty office can affect your employees’ mental and physical health, and therefore productivity and in this blog, we’ll explain exactly how a clean office boosts productivity instead of reducing it.
Reduces stress
An untidy and unclean office can be stressful. Whether it’s because you can’t find the client letter that you need, or that the dust is making you cough and you’re worried you’ll get sick.
A clean and tidy office will take your mind away from those stresses. With everything well-organised, you’ll be able to find what you need when you need it, and with regular daily office cleaning, your workplace will be clean and free of dust.
Clutter = distractions
It’s easy enough to get distracted and lose focus at work, especially when you’re in a zoom meeting and have little to contribute, or if you’re working on a particularly boring project.
Catching clutter out of the corner of your eye can lead your mind to wander, and therefore you’ll lose focus.
By having a tidy, organised office that’s free of clutter, you’ll reduce the risk of your employees getting distracted so they can focus on what matters most.
Positivity and professionalism
A clean and tidy office will give your employees a positive mindset as it’ll look and feel like a professional place to work. When your employees feel more positive, they’ll stay focused and productivity will soar.
Furthermore, if you’re inviting candidates into your office for interviews, they’re more likely to accept an offer if they can see the workplace is clean and tidy as it shows pride and professionalism.
Fewer sick days
Whilst we understand that getting sick is inevitable due to people your employees run into in the supermarket, the pub or from being around family, you can play a huge part in reducing the risk of illness whilst they’re at work.
An office that is cleaned and sanitised on a regular basis is a healthy workplace. Being free of germs will keep your employees healthy, as it reduces the spread of germs.
How we can help you boost productivity with a clean and tidy office
At Monthind, we’re passionate about cleanliness. We offer a wide range of commercial cleaning services, but the one we’re most known for is our contract office cleaning service.
Here’s how we can keep your office clean, and therefore boost productivity:
Desk and tech cleaning
Desks gather a lot of dust, dirt and germs, especially if you work on a hybrid model where your employees hot-desk. We will clean and sanitise desks, as well as computer monitors, keyboards and phone receivers.
Carpet and floor cleaning
Carpets and floors are magnets for dirt and dust because of spillages, as well as employees and visitors bringing in debris from outside.
Our professional office cleaning operatives are equipped with the latest technology to deep clean and sanitise floors and carpets, removing the toughest stains and dirt.
Internal window cleaning
Windows also attract dust and germs, that’s floating in the air due to being kicked up by people walking, or from sneezing from hayfever.
We’ll clean your windows internally, which not only will sanitise them but make them look aesthetically pleasing. We also offer external window cleaning as an additional service.
Washroom cleaning
Washrooms get dirty as they’re used by multiple people, multiple times a day, with many different touch points for germs to spread. We will clean and sanitise all washrooms, helping to protect your employee’s health.
We are also able to provide washroom supplies, including toilet paper and hand soap, so you have one less thing to worry about.
Public areas and high-touch points
Public areas in your building are accessed by the most people, from employees, to visitors, and contractors, and therefore are likely some of the most unhygienic areas day-to-day. We will clean all public areas, including touchpoints including door handles, to reduce the risk of outside germs spreading.
We are also able to supply hand sanitiser stations and signs, for extra protection.
