If you often find yourself taking sick days from work, your office environment might be to blame. While you may have attributed your illnesses to family members or changing weather, the culprit could actually be lurking in your workspace. Unclean surfaces, poor air quality, and everyday dirt can all contribute to compromised health. Here's how these factors affect you and what you can do about it.
Unclean Surfaces:
Untidy surfaces harbor germs and bacteria, easily transferring them to your skin upon contact. Surprisingly, office staples like coffee pots and machine buttons can be breeding grounds for more germs than public toilets. To combat this, prioritize regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces and consider keeping disinfectant wipes handy.
Poor Air Quality:
"Sick building syndrome" refers to buildings where poor indoor air quality leads to widespread illness among occupants. Various factors such as carbon monoxide from parking garages, cigarette smoke infiltration, and dust from renovations contribute to this issue. Insufficient fresh air circulation exacerbates the problem. Regular cleaning of air ducts and vents is crucial to mitigate the health risks associated with indoor pollutants.
Dirt:
Even seemingly innocuous dirt tracked into the office can pose health risks, especially if it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. Regular cleaning of carpets, tiles, and upholstery is essential to prevent illnesses and asthma triggers.

Illness-related absenteeism not only impacts productivity but also poses potential liabilities if negligence in office maintenance is proven. Xigna Concierge offers comprehensive office cleaning services aimed at enhancing surface safety, indoor air quality, and overall workspace health.
