Employee absenteeism due to illness is a major challenge that affects thousands of businesses daily. It doesn't only reduce productivity, but increases operational costs, negatively impacting team morale, making it difficult for your business to achieve your objectives.
Office environments tend to be areas where people share enclosed spaces, which makes then conductive to spreading bacteria and germs. Common areas including wash rooms, kitchens, and meeting rooms are all hotspots if they are not cleaned correctly. Studies have shown that certain surfaces harbour more bacteria than a toilet seat, thee areas include desks, keyboards, and phones. Without regular cleaning, germs can be transmitted easily between employees, increasing the risk of absenteeism.
Colds and flu tend to be the leading cause of employee absenteeism, especially during the cold London winters. Regular cleaning that includes the disinfection of high touch areas, can reduce the spread of these viruses.
