BRISBANE, AU / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / Jani-King Australia is shedding light on a critical yet often overlooked factor in employee satisfaction and productivity: cleanliness. In a post-work-from-home (WFH) era, maintaining a clean and inviting office space could be the key to re-engaging employees and encouraging them to return to the office.
With hybrid work becoming the norm, employees are placing greater emphasis on office environments that provide privacy, modern amenities, and outdoor spaces. However, cleanliness remains a foundational element that significantly impacts productivity and mental well-being by reducing distractions and fostering a healthier, more enjoyable work setting.
A 2024 Gallup report on the State of the Global Workplace found that employees in countries with strong labour rights laws experience better emotional health, leading to higher engagement levels at work. Establishing clear boundaries between professional and personal life has proven essential for mental health, yet these boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred in the WFH culture.
While remote work offers flexibility, research suggests that it also correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and job dissatisfaction. Hybrid work appears to strike a balance, offering employees the best of both worlds. However, a staggering 95% of employees report that they would like to see changes in their physical workspace. Their top requests include more private spaces, improved amenities, and better access to outdoor areas-further underscoring the role that a well-maintained, clean office plays in workplace satisfaction.
Studies have long shown that cleanliness contributes directly to workplace productivity. Employees want workspaces that are comfortable, well-maintained, and free of concerns about hygiene and sanitation-elements they routinely manage at home. Creating an inviting, well-kept office space eliminates unnecessary stressors, allowing employees to focus on their work without distractions.
