Workplace stress costs American businesses up to $190 billion a year in health costs alone, according to the Harvard Business Review.
“It is time to recognize the role clutter plays in our work lives – and to do something to clean up the mess,” the article says, noting that cluttered spaces have negative effects on our stress and anxiety levels.
Disorder reduces the ability to focus, which has a direct effect on productivity. Yet many companies put up with vendors whose processes don’t ensure an ongoing system of order and cleanliness. It’s just one of many productivity killers that could be hiding in your facility.
6 Productivity Opportunities
Are you losing productivity to sloppy processes or overlooked opportunities to boost employee morale and job satisfaction? Consider the following:
- A clean environment keeps workers healthier – they take fewer sick days so production stays on track; sloppy janitorial and maintenance practices cost you more than you may realize.
- A well-organized workspace allows workers to quickly find the supplies needed to do the job
- Workers are more likely to stay on task when their work environment is kept clean; overflowing trash cans are more than unsightly – many workers will stop what they are doing to empty them rather than put up with them
- A system of regularly scheduled maintenance reduces downtime and the likelihood of emergency repairs
- Well-planned security processes reduce risk and maintain order by controlling access and making employees feel secure and protected
- Continuing education and employee recognition keep motivation high and turnover low
