In the ongoing conversation of how to boost employee morale, very little attention is ever paid to the physical location where the work is done. A few tech giants – Google, most famously – did invest heavily in fancy workplace amenities in the idea doing so fosters creativity and innovation. But for the average workplace, rock climbing walls and fancy standing desks are just not going to happen. So what can be done to boost employee morale using only the furniture and fixtures you already have on hand?
Office cleaning can help. This is especially true after busy or stressful times, where necessary office maintenance may have been overlooked. Having the janitorial staff perform a deep cleaning to eliminate accumulated dust, debris and clutter from the workplace creates a sense of calm and control that many people find pleasing. It’s easier to focus the mind and achieve one’s goals when not distracted by the visual noise full trash cans, dust bunnies, and other common office messes create.
Natural daylight is known to boost the mood and improve employee morale. Having your office cleaning service clean the windows and entranceway maximizes the amount of natural daylight your team receives. Additionally, having green plants in the office has been shown to have a positive impact on creativity and collaboration. It’s well worth looking into – especially as green plants can help improve indoor air quality!
First Impressions Matter – Always Look Your Best
When the office looks nicer, people feel better about going there. This is important for your team’s morale. It’s also important for any customers, colleagues, or vendors who are visiting your location. First impressions are so important. When an office is cleaned regularly, it’s free from any embarrassing odors, unsightly clutter, or anything else that could contribute to the idea your team is anything less than amazing.
