Positive Impacts of a Clean Office

Posted on March 16, 2023

It should come as no surprise that a stressful work environment can manifest and negatively impact physical and mental health. Data gathered by mental health professionals have established a strong connection between mental health and significantly lower productivity. This has resulted in burnout, depression, higher absenteeism and high turnover rates. Poor mental health can also increase the chances of hypertension, cardiovascular issues and diabetes.

As an employer, you can help turn this around by implementing regular commercial cleaning services. It’s a well-known fact that a clean environment not only boosts morale but productivity as well. Below are some benefits of using a reputable and trusted commercial cleaning company like JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting. 

  • Reduced Stress – The COVID-19 pandemic increased fear and stress surrounding the spread of bacteria and illness. Employees have become increasingly focused on contamination in high-traffic spaces such as reception areas, shared kitchens, open offices, bathrooms and more. Knowing they are working in a clean environment can help put minds at ease.
  • Better Air Quality – The EPA estimates that people in the United States spend about 90% of their time inside and it’s estimated that air pollution is 5 times higher indoors than outside. Allergic reactions, headaches, and other physical side effects can occur as a result of allergens including dust and dander, plant pollen and other various contaminants. One controlled study showed that office cleaning drastically reduced those symptoms for at least two months after cleaning.
  • Cleanliness reduces the chances of your employees getting sick. In a recent study, of the participants surveyed, 61% said they know of someone at the office who never washes their hands after using the bathroom.

The cleanliness of an office not only resonates with employees but also customers, potential clients and job candidates. It can reflect who you are as a business, and also how well you take care of your employees. For customers, a clean office provides a sense of professionalism, it can also imply quality services and products and in turn, instills trust and confidence. Recent studies have even shown that 39% of people have said that a clean office environment has been a deciding factor on accepting a new job and 25% have considered leaving their current job for a cleaner environment. Maintaining large commercial spaces isn’t easy, but you  can call on JAN-PRO Cleaning and Disinfecting to provide regular cleaning services for your facility.
