Most business owners associate their HVAC systems with comfort, but there’s more to it than hot and cold air. The HVAC system also impacts the indoor air quality in your office in Ocala, Florida. And your office’s indoor air quality affects the productivity and health of your employees. Therefore, it should receive your ongoing attention.
Employee Productivity
Poor IAQ can cause a host of negative issues for your employees. When people suffer from poor indoor air quality, some of the problems include feeling tired, lethargic or flu-like symptoms. Employees don’t work well when they don’t feel good, and productivity suffers.
When employees take off work because they feel sick, the productivity of your office suffers as well. By taking measures to improve your office’s indoor air quality, you’ll also increase productivity.
Employee Health
Unhealthy employees miss work. Although you can’t avoid employees getting sick, you should do what you can to curb it.
Absenteeism will be more prevalent when you have poor indoor air quality in your office. Employees are more likely to stay home if they suffer from the adverse effects of poor IAQ, such as headaches, sneezing, watery eyes and coughing.
If an employee has asthma or allergies, poor IAQ will aggravate symptoms as well. Keeping your employees healthy translates to keeping your employees working in the office instead of taking sick days.
Office Atmosphere
Employees work harder for companies that care about them. When you treat your employees well, it shows in their work.
Take measures to improve your office’s IAQ, and let your employees know you’re investing in their health. You will promote a positive atmosphere by showing your employees you care enough about them to give them a safe and healthy working environment.
