Offices can be dirty places<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Office hygiene has always been a concern for many businesses. Even after the devastating Covid pandemic, poor workplace hygiene practices still continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shocking one in every three people <\/a>neglect to wash their hands after using the bathroom, posing a significant risk to the entire office.  The constant contact with various surfaces throughout the workday makes cross-contamination all too easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All it takes is one unwell colleague to come to work and fail to wash their hands after coughing and sneezing, and the business will see a spike in absenteeism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating at your desk?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eating at your desk worsens the problem. Food remnants and debris create a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. This is caused by the combination of food morsels, hair and skin build-up between the keys of your keyboard. You can read more about this in our previous blog post: How clean is your laptop?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dirty<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cost of absenteeism <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you know what absenteeism is costing your business?<\/a> Employees who fall ill due to poor hygiene practices are more likely to take time off work, resulting in reduced productivity and increased costs for businesses. Cross-contamination \u2013 be it from unwell colleagues or the build-up of bacteria on office equipment \u2013 causes absenteeism. This shows that poor workplace hygiene has a direct impact on the prevalence of sick leave.<\/p>\n\n\n

Employee expectations are changing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning and sanitising frequently used office equipment helps prevent cross-contamination, which in turn ensures better attendance. But it also meets changing employee expectations<\/strong> regarding hygiene at work, which have shifted noticeably since the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 2021 Global Hygiene Reset Research report from Initial<\/a>, 71% of employees are more fearful of germs on surfaces, 74% are more concerned that other people\u2019s lack of hand hygiene will make them sick, and 84% of employees feel that it’s important that their employers prioritise creating a safe and hygienic workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular technology hygiene<\/a> services are a visible investment in creating a safe and hygienic workplace; demonstrating to employees that their concerns around workplace hygiene are being taken seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boosting staff morale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When employees work in a clean, safe and hygienic work environment, they feel safer and assured that their employer cares about their well being. This boosts staff morale and creates a positive work culture. This lead to employees that are motivated, engaged, and a lot happier in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
