There are a few things that can be done to reduce the mess and clutter from accumulating in your office. Keeping on top of the clutter will reduce the time needed for cleaning, and also get your employees into a habit of cleaning as they go. One of the most effective ways to reduce day to day mess is to avoid eating at your desk. Crumbs get everywhere, from the floor to in between the keys on a keyboard. Create a communal area where employees can relax on their lunch break. This will also encourage them to talk to each other which will boost morale further.
It’s also a good idea to clean as you go in an office environment, this makes it easier and faster to clean at the end of the day. When you are finished your coffee, take the mug through to the kitchen. If you have a pile of paper on your desk that you no longer need, put it in the bin. If there is space, it is also a good idea for every employee to have a waste bin in their work area.
