A clean workspace in London offers excellent benefit. When you invest in professional cleaning services, it helps your business portray a professional image, make a great impression on visitors, while meeting health and safety regulations. A major benefit that should not be overlooked is the positive impact office hygiene has on employee health.

Employee Physical Health

Professional cleaning services in London do more than simply make your office sparkle. We take the time to clean your office, having a direct impact on employee health. Regular cleaning improves employee physical health by:

Kills Germs

If you work in a large office and one employee has a cold, it can spread like wildfire amongst the other employees, increasing absenteeism. When you partner with a professional cleaning company, such as Sloane Cleaning Services, you reduce the spread of illness through effective cleaning and disinfecting techniques. We focus on high touch areas, such as door handles, light switches, counters, break rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and lift buttons.

With regular and professional cleaning there are fewer germs in the office, which helps to improve employee health.

Combat Allergens

All offices accumulate some dust over time, but if you let it increase without cleaning, you may experience negative health effects. Dust, pollen, and other allergens can trigger allergies from coughing and sneezing to eye irritation. 

Dust can linger in various spaces in your office, which is why at Sloane Cleaning Services, we provide each client with a customised cleaning plan, ensuring every area is effectively cleaned and disinfected, including hard to reach areas. 

Eliminate Safety Hazards

Imagine arriving at work to experience a rat running under the work desks or cockroaches in your office kitchen. Doesn't sound good does it? Not to mention clutter lying around that can become serious safety hazards. Office hygiene is imperative to reducing the risk of rodents and pests, while ensuring your office is clutter free, safe, and healthy.

Employee Mental Health 

Now that we have touched on why office hygiene is essential to employee physical health in London, let's take a closer look at how it impacts employee mental health:

Productivity

Numerous studies show that a clean workplace has a positive impact on employee morale and productivity. When you have tight deadlines that need to be met, you cannot afford for your employees to be distracted by clutter and dirt. A clean and uncluttered working environment is a productive environment.

Turnover Rates

Offices that prioritise hygiene have a lower staff turnover rate. Why? Would you want to work in a dirty office where cockroaches are taking over the kitchen or  break room? Cleaning services are able to help to boost employee health, reducing staff turnover as employees take pride in their workplace.

In addition, a clean and hygienic workplace also helps to attract top talent. When an applicant arrives for an interview and is welcomed into a clean and healthy office, they are more likely to accept an offer of employment.

Flexibility

Every business is unique and so are your cleaning needs. Professional cleaning services offer flexible cleaning solutions, working around your peak periods, avoiding disruption, and enabling employees to work at optimum. 

Conclusion

Office hygiene is imperative to London employee health. When you provide employees with a clean and hygienic workspace, they are more motivated, productive, and your absenteeism levels can be reduced. Allergies, respiratory issues, and other illnesses are reduced as dust, dirt, allergens, and pollutants are effectively eliminated through professional cleaning and disinfecting.
