As we get ready to flip the calendar to a fresh new year, it’s not just personal resolutions that get a makeover. Businesses and organizations also have an opportunity to hit the reset button and set intentions for a more productive, successful year. And what better place to start than with the very foundation of a happy workforce – a clean and healthy workplace?

With more than 45 years of experience as a commercial cleaning company, we’ve seen firsthand how a sparkling environment can transform a company’s culture. Reduced sick leave, boosted employee morale, and even increased productivity – the benefits of a clean workspace are undeniable. So, this New Year, we’re encouraging businesses to ditch the dusty desks and stagnant air, and embrace these resolutions for a healthier, happier workforce!

Resolution #1: Declare War on Germs

No one wants to spend their workday dodging invisible enemies. Commit to regular disinfecting of high-touch surfaces, keyboards, and communal spaces. Invest in HEPA air filters and consider professional air duct cleaning to keep germs at bay. 

Resolution #2: De-clutter for Focus

Clutter chaos can be a major productivity killer. Encourage employees to declutter their desks and common areas. Implement clear organization systems and designate specific areas for storage. A tidy workspace fosters a sense of calm and clarity, allowing employees to focus on their tasks at hand.

Resolution #3: Let the Light Shine In

Natural light is a mood booster and a productivity powerhouse. Open blinds, invest in energy-efficient lighting, and ensure windows are cleaned regularly. A bright and airy environment promotes alertness, creativity, and overall well-being.

Resolution #4: Make Cleanliness a Team Effort

Foster a culture of collective responsibility by implementing cleaning schedules and encouraging everyone to pitch in. Organize regular cleaning challenges or fun initiatives to keep things light and engaging. A clean workplace is a shared responsibility, and it builds a sense of community within your team.

A clean and healthy workplace isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about investing in your most valuable asset – your people.
