No matter how small or large your upstate New York business is, it depends on the efficiency, health, and wellbeing of its employees to be successful and prosperous. A workplace that is unkempt, disorderly, or dirty can affect the health and morale of your staff, while making it harder for them to do their jobs effectively. By providing a clean, organized environment, you can boost productivity in a number of ways:
Improved Employee Health
With many people working together in close quarters, it is easy for colds, flus, and other illnesses to spread quickly. Not only will this reduce productivity as employees develop symptoms, but it can lead to increased sick leave for those who are ill and higher overtime costs for the employees that cover the absences. Frequent cleaning and sanitization of kitchens, bathrooms, waiting areas, desks, office equipment, doorknobs, telephones, and other communal surfaces can help to prevent the spread of illnesses and diseases, leading to happier, healthier employees that are able to do their jobs more effectively.
Increased Morale
When a workspace is disorderly and untidy, it can decrease employee morale and discourage them from doing the best job possible. By providing a clean and organized environment, you can encourage your employees to take pride in their work and do their jobs in an efficient, effective manner.
Improved Efficiency
When a work area is disorganized and cluttered, it can be difficult to find the documents, tools, or equipment that an employee may need to perform a particular task. Every moment spent searching for lost items reduces productivity and leads to frustration. By keeping the workplace clean and organized effectively, you can eliminate much of this wasted time.
Fewer Distractions
Clutter, messes, odors, and other problems found in a messy environment can create distractions for your employees that reduce productivity. Whether they simply cannot concentrate, or they feel compelled to clean instead of focusing on job-related tasks, it can equate to lost time and profits. A clean workspace can eliminate these distractions and improve focus.
Setting a Standard
By creating and maintaining a clean environment, you set a standard of expectations for your employees. They will be more likely to respect the workplace and put their full effort into their assigned tasks. This can translate into greater efficiency and profits, as well as a better image for your business and its clients.
Protecting Equipment and Tools
In an environment that is dusty and dirty, equipment like computers, copiers, printers, electronics, tools, motors, HVAC systems, and other devices will be less reliable and prone to premature failure. A clean workplace protects sensitive equipment, helps to extend its service life, and reduces productivity losses due to equipment failures or malfunctions.
