Employees are the crux of any company. From damp smells to rising concerns about indoor air quality affecting health, the impact of these factors can truly take you and your employee’s breaths away. To ensure your business and workers' success, limiting the adverse effects of air pollution should be a staple in modern business.
In this article, we go over three crucial reasons you should improve indoor air quality.
Air pollutants can disrupt normal cognitive processes necessary for running and working within a company such as critical analysis, memory, creativity and decision-making. As well as these pollutants other issues such as lead, VOCs, particulate matter, & CO2 levels can cause issues as subtle as lowering productivity and headaches, to damaging the brain or central nervous systems and SBS “Sick Building Syndrome” - a situation where the occupants of a building experience acute health- or comfort-related effects that are directly linked to the time spent in the workplace.
If you don’t improve air quality, you may find more of your employees taking sick leave or not showing up to work. Indoor and outdoor air pollutants can make pre-existing medical conditions much worse or even lead to new ones. When workers aren’t showing up for work it can make it difficult to keep up with deadlines and disrupt the rest of the office. Some studies suggest that air pollution is closely associated with higher levels of sick leave even up to 20 years after exposure.
Employees want to feel like they are valued, yet if they have to come into a workplace that is affecting their health and their employer isn’t doing anything about it, they don't want to stick around. When it comes to high-level talent, they will seek workplaces that can improve their lives - not make them worse. If they are offered jobs in multiple places, why are they going to pick the one that is dangerous to work in? Without indoor air quality solutions, it can be very hard to retain workers, meaning you have to invest more in job posting, interviewing and onboarding.
