Businesses should primarily be concerned with two things. Income and Expenditure. There are few ways which can raise income and lower expenditure and are often expensive choices such as relocating into a more popular area or expanding the premises. But one very simple part of a business can provide as low cost way to do this. I refer to the simple art of choosing a good cleaner.
A clean office is certainly a productive office and good workplace hygiene can lead to a motivated workforce, increasing their productivity and therefore, the businesses income. As for expenditure, there is hardly any risk in hiring a good cleaning service to tend to the office, especially when compared to the risk of relocating a business to an entirely new area, moreso if the area is a new place where your business type has never ventured before. This means you can chop and change as you wish until you find a cleaning service that meets your needs.
I concede that its not the biggest money spinner that a company can try, but in this delicate economic environment all the little costs could add up into something catastrophic for your business, and it seems like a better idea to just play it safe rather than risk putting the business in danger with such a stark change as an expansion. Some might argue that the novelty of a clean office may wear off over time, or that the workers have a right to work in clean conditions, and they'd be right, but a good cleaning staff could avoid your other workers becoming demotivated at the poor working conditions.
I'd also recommend that, when choosing a cleaning service, always consider the flexibility of the service and how that may coincide with your hours of business. If you are a standard 9-5 business, then the cleaning staff would be out of the way, but if you have a business that runs around the clock, then the flexibility is crucial to the productivity of the workers. So choosing a good cheap cleaning staff is certainly beneficial to the business, but make sure you get one that's suited perfectly to your needs.
