Every employee uses the toilet every day. Yet in many offices the washroom is the forgotten corner of the building. That’s a shame, because that’s exactly where health gains can be made, especially during flu season.
Where it goes wrong
An empty soap dispenser seems a minor inconvenience. But washing hands without soap barely works, and a single case of flu spreads through the team in no time via door handles, keyboards and coffee pots. Research into hand hygiene keeps pointing the same way: good facilities noticeably reduce the risk of infection.
The toilet seat as an underestimated factor
Many employees avoid the toilet at work because it doesn’t look fresh. Some even postpone going until they are home, which is simply unhealthy. A toilet seat cleaner solves that: every user can clean the seat themselves in a few seconds. A small gesture, a big difference in how your team experiences the room.
What you can arrange tomorrow
- Make sure soap, paper and seat cleaner are always there. Reaching for nothing is the signal that something is wrong.
- Choose dispensers for business use; household sizes are empty within a day.
- Assign refilling to one person, or outsource it.
At GreenHygiëne all of this is part of the subscription: we keep track of the stock and restock before anything runs out. So the smallest room is never the weakest link again.
