A clean work environment improves productivity

A clean work environment improves productivity

As the owner or manager of an industrial facility, you already know the importance of maximizing worker productivity and minimizing downtime for maintenance or repairs, but did you know both of these can be tied directly to the cleanliness of your workplace?

Worker productivity can be influenced by a number of things—pay, benefits, and bosses, for example—but did you know that workers who take pride in their workplace are generally more productive than workers who do not? Did you know that worker pride can be directly influenced by the conditions of the areas where they work? It’s true. Clean and healthy workplaces can also influence productivity by keeping your employees healthy. Every year, U.S. companies lose billions of dollars in productivity due to worker illness or injury—which is often preventable. Regular cleaning and decontamination in your workplace removes dangerous chemical buildups, mold, pollutants, and pathogens that can negatively impact the health of your employees.

In addition to improving worker productivity, regular cleaning and maintenance of your industrial tools and equipment can improve production efficiencies by keeping machines in proper working condition. A thorough cleaning of industrial equipment reduces wear and tear—keeping your equipment working more efficiently, for longer.
