The Connection Between a Clean Office Space and Workplace Productivity

 You may think that you present an image of mass workplace productivity with paperwork-littered desks, garbage cans full of debris, and ongoing employee activity that leaves little time for cleanup. The opposite is actually true, and when your staff isn't working at their highest potential, your company loses money and employee hours as a result.
Here are a few examples of how a clean and organized office is connected to workplace productivity so you feel more motivated to work with a supply company that can provide you the tools you need for a better workplace.
Illness
One of the biggest money-suckers in the workplace is illness caused by infectious diseases. Viruses such as the flu and common cold can live on desks, computer keyboards, chairs, and other surfaces for up to a whole day. When the workplace isn't cleaned regularly, illnesses employees bring to work with them can continue to thrive in a warm, sunny office area.
Investing in antibacterial wipes, chemical sprays, and other surface cleaners can reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses that make your employees sick and cause them to miss work.
Stress
Messy, disorganized work areas lead to employee stress. Paperwork gets lost or forgotten, deadlines can be missed, and employees can become fatigued or discouraged trying to muddle through the chaotic messes that make their offices difficult to work in. Encourage cleanliness in the workplace by hiring a janitorial service to clean work stations a few nights a week, and your employees can feel inspired and encouraged to work to their fullest every day.
Disarray
A disorganized workplace leads to confusion, loss of productivity due to projects going unnoticed, and completed work lacking professionalism. The best way for your employees to perform their duties is by keeping the workplace organized. This chore can be done with file cabinets for individual accounts or records, bins for completed or pertinent work, and calendars for tracking deadlines and who is working on what. You can purchase these supplies in bulk from a company that specializes in cleaning and packaging inventory for business use.
Atmosphere
When you place an employee in an atmosphere where the office is not encouraged to be clean and tidy, it inspires a lackluster attitude for productivity. Who would want to put their best effort into their work when the office isn't even presentable?
Messiness is often equated with laziness, which you may be inadvertently encouraging in your staff. There is a huge connection between the way an office appeals to employees and their willingness to put their best skills and work efforts into their production. Keep work stations clean, organized, and welcoming, and you can see employee satisfaction increase.
Turnover
When workplace morale is low due to a rattled, messy office area you will notice turnover increasing as a result. Constantly training and supervising new employees takes current staff from their regular work and costs several thousand dollars in the turnover process. You can avoid this by simply encouraging pride in the workplace by doing what you can to provide each employee their own workstation cleaning supplies.
To keep the workplace clean for you and your employees, you will want to invest in cleaning supplies and organizational tools. Working with a company that provides all the supplies you need at an affordable rate with quick delivery will ensure your ability to keep your offices clean.
Whether you hire a janitorial service to clean for you or you want to have your employees care for their own work areas, Mailender has the tools you need for keeping your business spic and span. Call their friendly associates to gain access to a large variety of cleaning and organizational supplies.
