Enhance Facilities Services becomes part of the Workplace Group
Facilities economists quote cleaning costs at one quarter percent of the overall cost of providing and maintaining office space for employees.
A relatively modest investment in cleaning produces substantial returns.
Sickness and absenteeism in offices is reduced if occupiers are provided with a clean environment.
In the UK there is an average of 9.1 sick days per employee per annum which is estimated to cost the economy £29 billion per annum.
94% of people would avoid a business in the future if they encountered dirty washrooms.
Clean working environments result in:
1. An 80% reduction in the probability of catching the common cold.
2. A 62% reduction in viruses present on contaminated surfaces.
3. A reduction in all absenteeism by 46%.
Providing a clean working environment for your employees results in between 2 – 8% productivity gains according to a study carried out in the USA.
These statistics show that good levels of cleanliness are not just a cost but they contribute significantly to increasing revenue and overall profitability.
