Everyone’s house gets dirty, but as business owners we don’t often think about the cleanliness of our offices. What does a little dust and debris matter when there are so many more important things you need to worry about? The thing is, the cleanliness of your office is very important because it can affect the productivity of your employees.
Today we’re going to look at several reasons why a commercial cleaning company makes sense for your business.
It’s Easier Than Cleaning It Yourself
Let’s face it, no one loves to clean, especially when they still have other work to do. So in many cases it is simply easier for you to hire a commercial cleaning company to do the cleaning for you
This means you and your employees will spend less time tidying up the joint, and more time getting actual work done. That means higher productivity and more money.
It’s Cheaper Than Cleaning it Yourself
While this may not seem like a true statement, often times it is actually cheaper to hire a commercial cleaning company than to have your employees do the cleaning themselves. The reason is that you still have to pay them to do the cleaning, so you have do deal with man hours, as well as the fact that they could be using that time to do something productive for your business besides cleaning.
It’ll Make Your Employees More Productive
We’ve mentioned this a couple times now, but there have been many studies that have shown that the cleaner and more organized your office, the more productive your employees are. People just don’t work efficiently when they have to deal with a mess all of the time. While a lot of this is just making sure that your files are put in the right place (filing cabinets) and all of your office equipment is taken care of, some of it is ensuring that the bathrooms are clean and the floor is clear of detritus.
In the end a clean office means more production from your staff. More than that, however, it means happier employees. There have also been studies that show people who work in organized and clean workspaces tend to be happier in both their lives and their jobs than people who work in a mess.
That’s why a commercial cleaning company makes sense. While it may mean an added expense, it will pay for itself quickly with cleaner offices and more productive employees. In the end, that is all you are really trying to do.
We just recently moved into a new office building. We have not yet hired a commercial cleaning company to come and clean our offices. So I am researching to make sure that this is the best option and if it is going to save us money. This article was super informative and I agree that it is a lot easier having someone else do it and it saves you money.
