No one wants to spend unnecessary money, but when making cutbacks, you need to consider if it will actually benefit you and your company financially or if it will add further costs in the long run. By investing in office cleaning services you are not only making your offices a safer place to work, but also reducing long term costs. Here is a list of the reasons why investing in office cleaning will save you money.
SICK DAY COSTS
Without a consistent cleaner for your office, your workplace will be infested with built-up bacteria. Bacteria in the office will only cause illnesses, making it a lot more likely for employees to take sick days off. Also, don’t forget that a lot of illnesses are contagious, so if one worker becomes ill, it is likely more will too. This then means the employer will have to pay for the numerous amounts of sick days and loss of work.
Compared to the price of a regular cleaner, this risk is not worth it. Why waste time and money.
COLD, FLU & COVID
Illnesses spread like wildfire. As we have seen with the worldwide pandemic Covid19. Especially because of the recent pandemic, it would be extremely risky and ill advised not to have a cleaning service for your office. Other illnesses, like the flu and colds, are also extremely contagious and could leave your whole office bedridden. By investing in a trusted cleaning service, the decline in illnesses could be drastic.
HEALTH & SAFETY ACT
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, according to Work Smart, “Employers must protect the 'health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees, as well as others on their premises, including temps, casual workers, theself-employed, clients, visitors and the general public.”
So, are you following the law? By not ensuring the safety of everyone in the workplace, you will be breaking the law, which we doubt anyone intends or wants to do. Once again, why take that risk? It’s really not worth it. By investing in a cleaning service, your offices will be a safe place for every Joe to visit.
BOOST PRODUCTIVITY
As an employer, you always want to get the most out of your employees. People work better in a clean and tidy environment, rather than a messy one.
Working in an unclean environment can not only cause a decline in their health but also in their morale. Therefore to boost productivity in your workplace, ensuring your offices are kept up to hygienic standards, will get you the most out of your money, as after all, you pay for your employees.
IMPROVE CORPORATE IMAGE
Have you considered what visitors/clients would think if they are walking into an unhygienic office? Most likely, the impression will not be good… Creating a bad name for your business. This will then cause you to lose clients, resulting in a loss of revenue. Essentially, if your offices are not clean, it suggests unprofessionalism which we doubt any business owner wants to put across to their clients.
