A study<\/a> published in the Journal of Consumer Research involved participants solving a puzzle in a clean and a cluttered room. The participants who were sitting in a clean environment persisted with the task in hand longer than those in the cluttered room where the participants gave up quickly.<\/p>\n

The researchers concluded that the mess threatened participants\u2019 sense of control. Managing that threat depleted their mental resources, resulting in self-regulatory failure.<\/p>\n

In another study<\/a> on impact of workplace hand hygiene on employee health insurance claims and absenteeism, researchers found highest rate of bacteria and viruses in unsuspecting objects like door handles and computer keyboards.<\/p>\n

Viruses and bacteria can survive for hours and months on these inanimate objects. Contact with such objects can spread diseases among workers resulting in sickness and absenteeism. Such health-related work losses cost US employers over $260 billion each year.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no question that messes\u2014whether you can see them or not\u2014can adversely affect productivity and health. It can also often endanger lives. Unclean equipment is hazardous equipment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easier to tackle the clutter at home where you\u2019re in charge; in an office setup however, it takes a cultural change. Employees do not assume cleaning as their priority.
\nOur Think Clean signs<\/a> help employers reinforce the connection between cleanliness and safety. Signs placed at different locations in the office remind workers to do simple things like put wash dishes, put things where they belong, and throw out their trash.<\/p>\n
