When the cleaning team comes in to clean your office, they have a specific checklist that they follow to ensure that all areas of the office are cleaned thoroughly. This is important because each area is used by different people, has unique needs, and can spread germs to other areas of the office if not properly cleaned and disinfected. Keeping up with regular office cleaning helps reduce sick days and saves money by keeping your floors and furniture looking newer for longer.
Having a clean work environment is one of the best things you can do to help your employees stay healthy and productive. Productivity is directly related to morale and a clean work environment allows employees to complete tasks more efficiently and effectively. Sick days cost American employers billions a year, so it’s important to do everything you can to prevent the spread of germs in your workplace.
