Small business owners who struggle keeping their office clean should consider leveraging their employees to tidy up after a day’s work. It doesn’t have to be a full-out deep clean, but regular surface cleaning and organization can go a long way to keeping an office looking great.
Owners are already stretching the dollar as far as they can by using their resources, and not everyone can afford to have a local janitorial service company at their disposal. Here are several ways to motivate employees to clean the office:
- Create a reward or competition out of it
- Make it mandatory
- Once a week, hold a cleaning party
Once there is buy-in from the employees, owners can provide a cleaning guide that keeps them on track and ensures everything in the office is touched. It puts the responsibility on the individual rather than the collective group.
