Office Health

A clean and healthy office goes beyond regular commercial cleaning services, washing your hands is always an important activity to incorporate into your office routine. Not only does regular hand washing benefit you and remove potentially harmful dirt and bacteria from your hands. It also helps benefit everyone who spends time around you, since it stops the spread of germs--especially if you spend a lot of time around a group of people in a setting like your office.

Summer heat is cranking up. That’s bad news if you’re trying to cut costs via air conditioning use. It’s good news if you’ve had it with the pesky allergy season. Stratus Building Solutions, the nation’s leading green commercial cleaning franchise, was proud to be a powerful resource and ally for allergy sufferers this spring.

You rely on your employees to keep your business up and running every day, and your success depends on their ability to fulfill their jobs efficiently. As an employer, it's your responsibility to keep their working environment clean and conducive to their productivity and well-being.

Fall and Winter months are notoriously spent indoors for most of us. During these months, Americans spend over 90% of our time inside. Besides the spread of the typical colds, flus and “Sick Building Syndrome” that can run rampant during this time, allergies can wreak havoc on our health, well-being and productivity.

Cold and Flu Season is here... What are you doing to keep your business healthy this year?

Eco-friendliness is on many people's minds these days, and one place where it's easy to make more environmentally friendly decisions is in the workplace. By changing up some simple daily habits and shifting routines, it's easy to help ensure your office taxes the environment as little as possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to go green at work.

The average person spends 90% of their day indoors, and this amount increases during the winter months. Paints, carpets, furniture, plastics, HVAC systems and cleaners all can contain certain levels of toxicity often in the form of Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) which can in turn increase indoor pollution levels to 5-10x that of outdoors.

Cooler weather is upon us and most of the US has had the heat on for a few weeks now. Along with spending more time warm and indoors with windows sealed, late November through December is a high travel time which exposes all of our customers and employees to new germs; which allows businesses and offices to become incubators for these pathogens to spread. Taking few key steps during the next few months can keep your business healthy and make sure you and your employees can remain productive in this already hectic time of the year!
