RELIABLE
CARE PROGRAM

Sick days cost businesses $225.8 billion annually in the United States. By keeping the work environment clean – and therefore supporting employee health – fewer work days are lost to preventable illness. Employees are more appreciative of and less distracted by working environments that are clean and free of clutter and foul smells. This results in increased productivity and even higher quality work.

In addition to boosting productivity, cleanliness can result in heightened overall workplace satisfaction and a stronger culture. No one wants to work in a dirty office environment. In fact, according to the 2017 Healthy Hand Washing Survey , 89 percent of Americans believe the condition of a workplace restroom is one indicator of how a company values its workforce. Regular cleaning of restrooms and other key areas in the workplace will ensure that hygiene remains at the forefront and doesn’t go unnoticed by employees and visitors. Plus, there’s an added bonus of happier employees. A 2015 study found that they are 12 percent more productive, while unhappy employees are 10 percent less productive.
