DID YOU KNOW?
One of the most significant variables in office efficiency is a clean workspace. Not only does it affect employee productivity, but it also affects the overall employee mindset. Every business should adopt and implement proper organization and sanitation that would benefit the workers, the clients, and the bottom line.
Happier Employees
According to a survey by NiCole R. Keith, Ph.D., an Indiana University research scientist and professor, she found that those with more organized and clean space were relatively happier and more productive. Maintaining cleanliness in our workplace will also protect from germs and diseases like COVID-19, the problem that we are facing now.
Healthy is happy. More than a million people call in sick every year and this leads to a loss of revenue due to the loss of productivity. Common sickness can easily be prevented from spreading by disinfecting the door knobs, tables, chairs, utensils and air ducts.
Clean Office = Higher Productivity
There was a research study conducted about workplace psychology and it was found that individuals who worked in a dirty, cluttered and unorganized environment were more likely to be fatigued and depressed. An IDC survey conducted in 2012 showed that many IT industry employees lost records and reports due to misplaced documents. These wasted records and reports cost a massive loss to the economy, which is about 21.3% in their overall output for the organization. This kind of loss can stir negative emotions that can resonate in the whole environment of the office and sometimes clients walking into the place can feel that vibe.
