Four reasons why you need to keep your office clean

The office is the hub of your business – the place where the work gets done; where you sell to your clients; and where your brand grows from. But if left to grow messy and unclean, the office can quickly become detrimental to your work.

Here are four reasons why you need to keep your office as clean as possible.

Hygiene

Office employees have plenty of bad habits at their desks, one of which is eating. But how hygienic do you think that is? Especially considering how often desks are cleaned up. One study has shown that in some offices, the average keyboard contains more than 150 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.

Remember that it’s a statutory requirement to keep the office clean for the health, safety, and welfare of employees. So a regular cleaning schedule is a must.

The majority of offices invite clients and customers in for meetings. If your office is a mess, think how that will reflect on your business and brand. It won’t make you look good, will it?

Plus, when inviting job candidates in for the interview, you’ll want to make a good impression too. You won’t attract the people at the top of their field with a dirty office.

Efficiency

Not only is an unclean, dirty office unpleasant to work in, but it’s difficult to work in too. The piles of paper lining office desks; the empty boxes surrounding the printer; the lay of wires crisscrossing the floor – they’ll all make working life harder.

Encourage all your employees to keep desks and communal spaces tidy and promote a more organised work ethic.

It’ll help create a much more efficient business.

Productivity

People work better in a clean environment. It’s just fact. So ensure that your working environment is as clean as possible.
