A messy room is often equated with laziness, and a lot of people often mistake productivity to a mess. They’re not totally wrong, but they’re not totally right either.A lot of workers who love their job and have no problem in management, no problems at home and no problem with the pay have the tendency to be demotivated from time to time. Why is that?How about your workplace? Is it clean? Does the atmosphere promote room for creativity?Having a clean office has an effect on how the employees mind process and how he/she feel about work. Thus, it is important that companies attend to this because of the following reasons:

Health

“Health is wealth.” It is. A lot of you may haven’t noticed, but the body is just as important as your dreams and goals in life. The body is used to think, feel and act upon to finish a specific task. And, this is why it is important to keep a healthy body.Dirt is the number one carrier of germs – the harbinger of diseases. When you’re sick, the body automatically shuns any responsibilities that needed to be done within the day, including work. And, you already know that missing a day or two at work, are piles of deadlines waiting to be submitted.Fun fact: an office keyboard has an average of 7500 bacteria on it. If this doesn’t make you think twice, think thrice. Think of it as an investment. A clean office comes with healthy employees. And, it has been proven by research that healthier employees tend to be twice as productive compared to those who aren’t.

Focus

A dirty and disorganized workplace is full of distractions. Time is wasted by looking around the dirt and by arguing in your mind whether to consider it dirty or art. From there, you start questioning his values and etiquette, that will lead to why was he even born in this world, and what is the point of our existence?See? Distractions. It is very hard to focus when our environment does not promote it.A tidy and organized workplace promotes peace of mind. When everything is appealingly clean, it sends your brain the idea that everything is fine. So, now you can get back to work. When you have focus, you get things done faster and with better quality. Now, that’s productive!

Morale

Catharsis begins when you have an environment that begs for creativity, and it is not the creative mess you’re thinking. A painter starts his masterpiece in a white canvass. A writer starts writing in a blank sheet of paper. The mess comes after, and it’s not the other way around. It is in the same concept that when we are in a clean and tidy workplace, we tend to be more creative.A clean workplace is something to be proud and be happy about. When employees are more confident about their workplace, they also become more enthusiastic. This optimism is contagious which is good for other employees. Now, you have a workforce that’s fully armed and ready to get jobs done.
