The last thing anyone wants to have to do before clocking off for the day is clean a dirty office, but offices that cut corners on cleaning or allow employees to work in a messy, disorganised working environment are far less productive than clean, well-ordered offices. ContractCleaning.co.uk says that people employed in offices with a low emphasis on a clean working environment spend less time in the workplace and don’t work as hard when they do sit at their desks. Simple things like organising and filing the ever growing stack of documents on your desk or emptying overflowing recycling bins can make a dramatic difference. Most people would spend just as much time (if not more) in the office as they would at home, so why do a lot of companies fail to see that it is important to have an office that you enjoy being in.

A study carried out by contractcleaning.co.uk found that:

-  72% of people said their surroundings made them less productive.
-  46% said they took longer lunch breaks and spent less time in the office.
-  25% said they took sick leave because the surroundings depressed them.

No Matter how bad your messy office is, anytime you spend to improve it will have a positive effect on how you feel, how you function and your time management at work. Don’t fool yourself do, making piles does not reduce clutter. The issue isn’t space it’s too much stuff. If you’re filing cabinet starts to overflow, throw out or digitally archive anything older than a year. This attitude should extend further than your own workspace, the same rules apply to clean toilets and kitchen area. It takes less than 5 minutes to give the kitchen surfaces a wipe down with some antibacterial wipes or spray or to throw a splash of bleach into the toilet.

With an extensive range of cleaning products from floor cleaning to washroom supplies available at b2b.ie, you’ll be able to boost office morale and improve productivity in no time.
