You spend thousands of pounds on equipment to make the work environment a more productive and easier place to work on. You provide a work station full of equipment, a PC, mouse, key board, telephone, headset, maybe a large board on the wall that has the most amazing software that can tell you how long it took to take, make and produce a call. You provide training for the job and maybe ongoing, that costs even more thousands of pounds. But you ignore the most valuable asset you have. The person sitting at those work stations using all of that valuable equipment that you must have, to make their existence and work easier.

According to the Office of National Statistics, a typical office based work place loses 12.4 days per employee to sickness absence each year, at an average cost of £940 per employee. For a Company employing 500 people, this adds up to a hefty annual absentee cost of £470,000 per annum.

At the same time, the average annual rate of staff turnover is 30%. With recruitment and training costs conservatively estimated at £3,000 per employee, that same 500-employee Corporate, Blue Chip or Call Centre business, faces an annual cost of attrition of £450,000. So, almost £1m a year in absence and attrition costs, before anyone even does a minute of work. No matter how many you employ, it is just an economy of scale.

It’s not rocket science to see how important improving either of these two metrics could have a significant impact on the bottom line. The challenge is to find one of the best ways to improve the working environment, as a healthy one is a happy one. A warm autumn spell has allowed bacteria and other nasties to linger longer and spread more easily than when we have those sharp cold spells that help kill off the bugs that create the onslaught of the common cold or worse, as in the current environment.

It is proven that a clean and healthy environment is a happier and more productive one, helping in cutting absenteeism from the workplace reducing sickness and staff turnover.
