The majority of workers spend around 40 hours each week in their office environment keeping the office clean.
Therefore, it is key to ensure a healthy and safe place to be is of utmost importance to office managers.
Many offices simply choose to rely on its employees to keep the working environment clean and tidy. However, hiring professional office cleaning services can make a huge difference. It can actually save your business time and money.
Here’s why contracting your office cleaning out could be one of the best decisions you could make for your office and staff.
The benefits of hiring a professional office cleaner are:
1. Green cleaning
At Swift Office Cleaning Services, we are proud to have achieved ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification.
This is one of the reasons why we are one of the best professional cleaning companies across London, Hertfordshire and Essex.
We know how important it is to minimise our carbon footprint. We understand how our operations impact the environment.
With the ISO 14001 certification, we are committed to providing green cleaning services and helping our clients be more environmentally friendly too!
2. A more productive workforce
A clean and organised office environment gives employees the freedom to concentrate on their work. Mess, clutter and dirt can be very distracting.
We conducted a London Office Worker’s Survey. We discovered an overwhelming 90% of office workers feel more productive in a clean environment.
It can be hard to work in an office where no care or attention is taken to keep things in order.
It is also more likely that important documents get misplaced or thrown away.
Hiring professional cleaners can ensure that your office runs like a well-oiled machine.
The cleaner your office is, the more likely that your employees will take care of their own personal space.
3. Saves time and money
Office cleaning when left to employees can take up a lot of time.
The time spent will add up to many hours that will be taken out of their schedules.
This could have been used more productively to improve and enhance the business.
Contracting out cleaning work gives you and your staff peace of mind.
Knowing that you are creating a safe, organised and welcoming working environment means that everyone can get on with their tasks. No one will have the burden of having to ensure the office is kept clean.
Doing this also reduces potential stress in having to assign cleaning tasks to employees.
It also reduces tension between employees who may deem others as not ‘pulling their weight’.
Hiring professional office cleaning results in office staff being able to work more efficiently.
This ensures they can focus on their own projects – the ones they were hired for in the first place!
4. A healthier environment
Without professional cleaners, it can be so easy to let dirt and bacteria build up.
Germs can spread with staff cooking, using facilities and eating at their desk.
This makes for a very easy way for bacteria to spread throughout the office.
A study by office resource provider Hloom discovered that many common office items contain a worrying number of germs.
Did you know, that the handle of a coffee pot can carry up to 34 times more bacteria than a toilet seat?
Or that that start button on a copy machine carries 4 times more bacteria than your pet’s food bowl?
The amount of bacteria and germs found in an office environment can make it very easy for illnesses to spread?
This can result in increased sick days taken by the team.
Our article ‘Office Managers – Do you know how clean your office really is?’ looks in more depth at hygiene in the office and what office managers can do to keep staff safe and healthy.
All our cleaners are professionally trained in sanitation practices helping to ensure your office is hygienic, healthy and germ-free.
This minimises the spread of germs in your office.
5. Workforce morale improves
Showing your employees that you are willing to invest time and resources into hiring a professional office cleaning service demonstrates a commitment to providing them with the best possible working environment.
Employees who feel well cared for are more positive about coming to the office, and are more likely to work harder and feel a greater commitment and loyalty to their job and the business as a whole.
6. Professional cleaners provide experience and expertise
Hiring a reputable professional office cleaning services means you can expect the highest standards of cleaning.
Cleaning staff who are given expert training and have proper experience will know how to make sure your office is not just surface cleaned but cleaned deeply and thoroughly so you know that you are getting a professional job – on every visit.
7. Proper tools and equipment
Professional cleaners are armed with the proper tools and equipment necessary to carry out office cleaning to the highest standard.
At Swift Office Cleaning Services, we ensure that our staff are equipped with everything they need to give your office space a thorough clean. We equip them with environmentally friendly products!
8. Good first impressions
An office which has been professionally cleaned looks notably different to one which has not.
This means that when you have potential new members of staff or important business visitors coming to the office they will have an excellent first impression which will reflect well on your business and you too.
9. A customised cleaning programme to suit your needs
Every office has different cleaning requirements. By hiring a professional office cleaning service, you can get the professional office cleaning services you need.
We sit down with each and every client to discuss their bespoke requirements. From this we put together a tailored programme to suit their businesses particular needs.
