Every business should invest in a healthy and focused workforce because your employees are your most valuable asset. Employees that feel great are more likely to be productive, and you’ll avoid the high cost of sick leave. Knowing what to do, and not to do, for your team with a workplace wellness and office cleaning plan will benefit everyone.

Do

Hire daily office cleaning.

Bring in a professional janitorial services team daily. They should sanitize areas such as the bathroom, desks, door handles, and the kitchen every day. They can work in other cleanings on a rotation to keep the rest of your space tidy, such as deep cleaning the carpet or dusting those tough-to-reach shelves. Routine office cleaning will kill germs before they have a chance to spread and improve your indoor air quality by removing allergens.

Encourage physical exercise.

Getting your team moving will instantly improve focus and benefit their long-term health. Encourage walking meetings and buy everyone standing desks as an alternative to sitting for eight to nine hours. Reimburse gym memberships or create employee exercise programs to promote physical fitness outside of work. For example, you can provide wearable trackers and hold competitions with prizes, or join a fun run as a group. If your team is becoming more fit when they aren’t at work, they will be happier, more energized, and more motivated when they come into the office.

Don’t

Be reactive.

You’ll benefit everyone and save money by getting ahead of the curve. Arrange for onsite flu vaccinations or give employees time off to get one. Provide health insurance incentives and make it easy for employees to visit their doctor. You need to stress that their lives outside of work, and their health, are more critical than working an extra hour every day.

Discourage sick leave.

You may think you’re boosting productivity by encouraging sick employees to come in anyway, but this is counterintuitive. An ill employee will only spread their illness and take the rest of your team out of commission. Encourage sick employees to take the day off or work from home while they recover. You should never make your team feel like their physical and mental health are less important than the tasks you assign them at the office.
