While high rise window cleaning can help keep your building in top working order, help to remove dirt and debris build-up, prevent glass deterioration and help save businesses money – there are also some other major benefits to be had.
It’s important to consider not only the maintenance of a building, but the impact it has on the workers inside and potential visitors.
A drab, dirty and unkept work environment can have a huge impact on employee wellbeing, as well as form a bad impression for visitors and clients. While we know that a cluttered workspace can be distracting, and we make relevant changes to boost productivity – often the impact of high rise window cleaning on employees is overlooked.
So, how can high rise window cleaning benefit a business?
Employee productivity
As well as minimising distractions, and therefore making room for creativity, a clean work environment can greatly increase employee productivity.
The way employees feel in their work setting can have a huge impact on their output and wellbeing. Employees spend a significant amount of time at work, making it imperative for the environment to be an efficient, clean and maintained one.
When a team feels relaxed and motivated, employers can notice an uplift in their work productivity, with plenty of natural light able to flow through clean windows. Studies have shown that access to natural light is the number one attribute workers seek in their office environment.
More natural light, for greater wellbeing
As well as giving employees a break from artificial lighting, high rise window cleaning can boost the amount of natural light in a building – supporting health and wellbeing.
Natural light isn’t just important for good eye health, helping employees from straining their eyes under artificial lights, but it also plays a crucial role in our circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythms control our sleep cycle, helping us all to sleep more deeply and feel rested.
Keeping your high rise windows clean can allow plenty of natural light to flood in, improving employee mood and supporting circadian rhythms, therefore helping workers sleep better. Research has shown that employees not only crave sunlight, but have reported it improving their overall happiness and wellbeing. A well-rested team is not only a happier, healthier workforce, but also a more productive one.
A healthy and hygienic work environment
We all want to work in a clean and healthy environment, but it’s easy to forget how clean windows can contribute to a business’s cleanliness. Much like other surfaces, dirty windows can become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, all of which, when airborne, can cause your employees to feel unwell.
Alongside these germs, badly maintained windows can gather dust, pollen and dust mites, which can cause allergic reactions and respiratory concerns. As well as looking out for the health of employees, high rise window cleaning can help to reduce the number of germs, therefore, sick days taken by staff. When workers are feeling their best, a comfortable and hygienic work environment can help them work productively.
Enhanced kerb appeal
We all make quick judgments of our surroundings, whether we are aware of it or not. This also applies to the exterior of a high rise building, whether it’s a visiting prospective employee, client or even a competitor.
Using the latest in window cleaning technology, high rise window cleaning can help your business to make a great first impression. Having clean windows can help your business stand out from its neighbours, showing others that you take pride in what you do, from the first step towards your building.
