Company culture has become a hot topic in business circles. As companies compete to recruit and retain top talent, the workplace culture has become one of several decisive factors.
Employers now offer a wide range of perks to employees including gym memberships, flexible schedules and free food. Companies like Google have become famous for their sprawling campuses with numerous attractions for workers.
However, even small companies are making efforts to improve company culture and the work environment. One simple way that can be accomplished is by maintaining the employee break room as an attractive and clean space. The following tips can help business owners maintain a clean break room and improve company culture.
A bleak and sterile environment is what often comes to mind when picturing a classic employee break room. Blank walls, dull floors and folding chairs with temporary tables can be found in companies across the country.
That is why it isn’t difficult to make your break room stand out from the rest. Providing comfortable seating options can make the space appealing and inviting. Lounge chairs and couches can break up the space and provide a nice place to eat lunch and catch up with coworkers.
Since workers should be encouraged to eat and drink as they wish in the space, it is important to keep it clean. Spills and stains will take place. Regular upholstery cleaning by a commercial cleaner is recommended in order to maintain a clean and healthy environment. Spot cleaning should also be performed as necessary.
Carpet is a great choice for a break room. Carpet can make a room feel more warm and inviting. The carpet in a break room is generally designated as a heavy traffic area.
That is because it is subject both to foot traffic and food and beverage spills. In most cases, heavy traffic areas will need to be cleaned by a professional on a quarterly basis.
The best way to keep it clean in the interim is through regular vacuuming. Vacuuming should be performed one or more times per day. If you are investing in new carpet for your facility, it helps if you choose wisely.
Performance ratings range from light to heavy, on a scale of one to five. Carpeting rated between four and five is what you should look for when selecting carpet for an employee break room. Contact a professional carpet cleaning company for more information.
