Prioritizing health and wellness during the holidays contributes to a successful New Year. A hygienic working environment boosts morale, fosters productivity, and ensures business runs smoothly and efficiently. Neglecting commercial cleaning at the beginning of the year can negatively impact your business and cause staff to consider changing career paths in the New Year. It can also create poor-quality work and cost a company thousands of dollars. Hiring commercial cleaners to maintain your business can help create a stress-free January.
Increased Downtime
Productivity is often low at the start of the year due to staff taking vacation time, personal commitments, holiday events, and end-of-year workload stress. Chronic workplace illness halts employees from doing their jobs, which can cause increased downtime and/or understaffing. Missing deadlines and poor quality service create unhappy clients and negatively impact a business’s brand image.
Low Morale
The holidays can be a stressful time for everyone. Chronic workplace illness creates additional stress, causing others to pick up the slack for their team. A hygiene policy prevents workplace outbreaks and keeps morale high when it matters most. At the end of the year, staff may contemplate changing career paths if unsatisfied. A clean, hygienic workplace contributes to happier and healthier employees and prevents turnover in the New Year.
Workplace Turnover
A dirty or cluttered working environment causes frequent illness, triggers allergies, and doesn’t speak positively of management. Prioritizing the well-being of your staff during the holidays helps reduce employee turnover. This includes giving staff ample time off, letting staff work from home when sick, providing health and wellness benefits, providing ample breaks, and promoting work-life balance.
Poor Quality Work
Chronic illness causes disruptions and decreases efficiency. Employees who work under the weather are likely to perform poorly. Frequent sick days can lead to unhappy clients and significantly impact work culture. A hygiene policy prevents staff from entering work ill and ensures happier staff, customers, and guests.
