Unclean Office Premises Impact Your Business! Here’s How!

As businesses continue to adopt new and innovative practices to stay at par with their competition, there’s one thing they often overlook: building cleanliness.

You may have the best tools or knowledgeable staff, but unless you’re also making an effort to keep your office premises neat and clean, you’re risking your business’s growth. Here’s why you need to have a clean workplace.

First Impressions

You know what they say; first impressions are often the last impressions. An unclean office environment can leave a negative impression on potential employees, and prospective clients and customers. 

Think about it, how would you feel if you walked in a building that has smudgy windows, dirty floors, or stained chairs? Just how you’d have an instant negative image of the place, so would your clients. An unclean building tells them that you don’t care about your employees to provide them with clean facilities. It also shows unprofessionalism on your part. You’re likely to lose out on important business clients or have employees turn down your offer because of the unclean environment.

Employee Happiness

It’s no secret; sunlight is good for your health and happiness! In fact, research has shown that exposure to natural light for even a few minutes each morning can boost your mood and re-energize you.

Now think about the windows at your workplace. While you may have had them installed to allow sunlight in your building, they’re not of much use if they’re dirty. Grimy and unclean windows not only limit the amount of natural light entering your space. Instead of feeling fresh, your employees and clients will be negatively affected by the unclean windows. In addition to that, they’ll also find the dirty glass visually unappealing. As a consequence, your business, too, will be affected.  

To prevent an air of dullness in your building, make sure you’re allowing natural sunlight in through clean windows.

Air Quality

Speaking of air, don’t forget about the indoor air quality at your office. While outdoor air gets plenty of attention, we tend to forget about the pollutants present in the air inside the buildings we’re in. Poor indoor air quality is in fact a serious concern and greatly influences your business.

If you aren’t using effective cleaning services to vacuum and clean your office space routinely, you’re putting your employees at a health risk. Dust, chemicals, and other airborne pollutants can all be a cause of employee illnesses, which affects your work productivity. This can be prevented by ensuring that you have a janitorial staff clean your premises regularly.
