Hygiene in offices

With people returning back to work in the next few months, hygiene has never been so important.

Offices are expected to soon be working back at full capacity and collectively we need to make sure that hygiene measures are implemented to the highest possible level.

Poor hygiene in an office environment can lead to various negative outcomes with people working in close proximity of each other and often a high frequency of traffic through the workplace.

This can quickly see viruses spreading throughout the building and staff members going on sick leave.

It can also have a knock on effect on the company’s reputation and result in decreased commercial performance due to lower levels of productivity and efficacy.

Maintaining high levels of hygiene can help put staff members at ease and help them to keep working at a high level of performance in an office environment, making sure they have a safe place to work whilst also providing a hygienic and presentable environment for visitors.

Risk areas to consider

Some of the highest risk areas in terms of the spread of bacteria and viruses are:

• Desks
• Toilets
• Communal working areas
• Receptions
• Dining areas
• Lateral flow testing areas

Image and reputation

Beyond the important considerations around the need to maintain good hygiene for the health and well-being of staff, maintaining hygiene standards is an incredibly effective way to improve public image and reputation.

Whilst poor hygiene, particularly washroom hygiene, can damage the image of an office, high levels of washroom hygiene will stand-out and positively impact how the establishment is perceived by all stakeholders.

This can be of particular importance for offices. Ensuring the hygiene basics are in place and washrooms are being well maintained is a quick and affordable starting point for enhancing staff morale, attracting top talent, and impressing clients and visitors.
