Office communal areas are for everyone to use and enjoy. However many of us deal with kitchen abusers, who believe that keeping the space tidy is someone else’s responsibility. This creates miserable employees and lowers overall productivity.
No one likes to head for their break only to find out that they have to clean up the space before they can use it. This could lead to a few choice emails back and forth and the breakup of the team spirit you are trying to build in the workplace.
Tired of a full sink, cramped fridge filled with old food or a coffee pot that is never emptied and ready to go? We have devised a printable INFOGRAPHIC that you can use in your office to help bring everyone on board the ship…
“Keep the Communal Areas Clean”
REWARDS
It would be awesome if all employees would eagerly jump on board with following the new rules. We can hope that they too would realize that they genuinely want to work in a cleaner office space. However, offering rewards for co-operation can sometimes go a long way to move people in the direction you are wanting. It can be a big as adding a new fancy coffee maker to the kitchen. Or as simple as offering a better selection of small snacks in the communal areas. A gesture on your part no matter how big or small can go a long way to improving the clean scene.
PROFESSIONAL CLEANERS
Hiring a cleaning company for weekly or monthly cleans will help to alleviate some of your break room woes. Not only will they help stay on top of the mess but they will professionally sanitize the communal areas. As a result your staff will stay healthier and avoid having to take time off.
