Every year, it seem as though the number of day lost to illness at work seems to be on the rise. It could be argued that we are taking less car of ourselves than we used to, with diet and exercise low on the priority list for an ever growing number of people. It could also be argued that our environment plays a big role in that, too. This seems to be the case in any given office, as it seems that the moment one person gets sick, that illness starts knocking down the rest of the employees like dominos all in a row. What you may not be aware of is that cleaners Bristol may be able to help cut back on the number of sick days you currently see at your place of work.
If you don’t have a regular cleaning schedule in place at your business, bacteria will find a place to live quite happily. It may not be totally obvious, but the air that people are breathing is just not as fresh as it needs to be in order for them to stay healthy the whole year round. You add someone with a little touch of the cold or the flu into that mix and you have the makings of a petri dish that everyone will have their hands on at some point in the day.
That may all sound a little dramatic, but it is in fact pretty close to the truth. Most of the bacteria that we pick up through the course of a given day ends up entering out bodies through our hands. If you work in an office, think of how many pieces of equipment that you touch in the course of a 9-5 shift that have been touched by everyone else in the office. It becomes pretty clear at that point just how susceptible to illness everyone is if cleaners Bristol have not been employed to keep the place as clean as humanly possible.
Having cleaners come in is of course not going to eliminate all days lost to illness, but you will find that it may improve over time. Let’s be honest, if you have a work environment that is cluttered and borderline dirty, you are not going to have a place that people love to come to work. It can be depressing for employees to have to work in a place that is just a mess, which is why some of those sick days may be nothing more than a “mental health” day where the employee just needs a break from that environment.
It doesn’t have to cost you a fortune to have cleaners Bristol come into your business and keep things clean and fresh. The money that you do pay to set up a regular cleaning schedule might actually be recouped once you have to cut back how much you are paying out in sick pay. Even if you don’t see a major difference, it still refreshing to have a work place that in clean and free from clutter.
