With the government outlining steps to enable more businesses to reopen following the coronavirus lockdown, there will need to be enhanced hygiene practices in place to keep workplaces clean and the workforce safe.
Here are just some of the things you will need to consider when reopening your workplace, to continue to ensure the safety of staff and customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a huge effect on the world and there are no signs of this changing any time soon. Unprecedented numbers of employees are now working from home where possible, however, there are still many people who are required to go into the office or workplace to ensure that their business continues to operate as close to normal as possible.
In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, workers that are able to are now working from home. For many people, this is a new experience, and one that is difficult to get used to. There are new distractions to get used to, and in some cases, the lack of face to face interaction throughout the day can be difficult.
One of the simplest and most effective ways of boosting employee morale and increasing productivity is to invest in routine office cleaning services from a professional cleaning company, as well as encouraging your staff to take a little time each day to clean and tidy their workspaces. For any organisation, keeping employees happy is an important factor for ensuring success, so let’s look at some of the ways that routine office cleaning can have such a positive influence.
We talked about reducing office illness in a recent blog post, but coughs, scratchy throats and even the flu can pop up at any time of year, and with the coronavirus a key topic in the international news, we feel it’s just as important as ever to talk about infection control and cleaning strategies for the workplace.
By the end of the year, given the hectic run up to Christmas, our desks and offices can get very cluttered, and as a result, a little dirty too. Before you break up for the festive period, we recommend that you take the opportunity to engage in some office cleaning so that you can start the New Year afresh.
