Investing in a cleaner future for your workplace.
As the end of the financial year approaches and we dive deep into the budgets and spending of 2023, it's time to decipher what will and won’t be joining us in 2024.
While the benefits of hygiene in the workplace are well known, providing high-quality hygiene facilities can yield a substantial return on investment. Other advantages include reduced consumption and waste, improved productivity and employee satisfaction, as well as fulfilling health and safety obligations.
In the wake of the pandemic, hygiene has undergone a significant integration into formal health and safety policies. A collective realisation has emerged regarding the critical importance of providing occupants with proper hygiene facilities. Not only does this provide occupants with essential protection, but it also demonstrates support and care for their well-being. This increased level of care enhances employee satisfaction and can increase productivity. In the case of customer-used washrooms, 64% of consumers make a conscious decision to choose a business based on their bathroom facilities, and nicer bathrooms can increase spending. Our Powered Dispensers, such as the auto towel and hand sanitizers, are a greater investment that, in the long term, saves you money by improving employee health and well-being.
Touch-free equipment minimises the risk of cross-contamination by eliminating direct contact between surfaces and hands, thereby preventing the spread of germs. Each year, 50% of employees develop a respiratory illness. The touch-free dispensers reduce the amount of illness-related absence. Hand hygiene interventions alone have the potential to reduce illnesses by as much as 25%. Absenteeism can cost employers $1235 per employee annually.

The automated dispensers are often chosen for their impressive balance between consumption and hygiene control. The dispensers feature adjustable settings for sheet length, time delay, sensor range, and dispensing amount. These features allow for consumption control, ensuring you get maximum hygiene benefits. Controlled consumption helps reduce unnecessary usage, creating cost savings on consumables. For example, our auto towel dispensers can reduce consumption up to 40% compared to their manual counterparts.
Hand Hygiene compliance studies have shown that automated hand sanitizer dispensers can increase handwashing compliance by over 30%. The convenience and accessibility have been confirmed by experts to be the leading reasons why hygiene practices have increased since the introduction of dispensers. For organisations aiming to improve hand hygiene compliance, increased spending on consumable products may be necessary. However, with automated dispensers, you can rest assured that product usage is optimised. Hygiene systems can even provide consumption reports, enabling you to track compliance rates effectively.
