Why the Cleanliness of Your Workplace Restroom Matters |
|
|
A dirty bathroom is more than a nuisance or a potential health hazard: According to a national hand-washing survey, the condition of restrooms in the workplace indicates to employees just how much their company values them. |
It turns out that one of the smallest and most private rooms you regularly visit at work – the restroom – plays a role in how employees perceive how they are valued at work. |
A new national hand washing survey reveals that the majority of U.S. workers – 83 percent – believe that the state and cleanliness of their workplace restrooms is one indicator of how a company values its employees. |
While 66 percent of survey respondents would rate their work bathrooms as “excellent” or “good,” one-third of survey participants complained of problems included clogged toilets, unpleasant odors and jammed toilet paper or towel dispensers. |

Hand Washing Realities |
|
|
|
Washing your hands after using the restroom is vital for good health and hygiene. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “hand washing is a simple thing to do and it’s the best way to prevent infection and illness.” |
Unfortunately, the survey revealed that the majority of Americans don’t wash their hands long enough: More than half (57 percent) estimate they wash for just 5 to 15 seconds. CDC, however, recommends washing hands for at least 20 seconds and suggests singing “Happy Birthday” twice to allow enough time to remove and rinse away germs. |
