Office Cleanliness Struggles: How Do You Handle Employees Ignoring Policies?

Hi, I would like to ask something about cleanliness in the office where many employees do not follow the policy. A couple of days ago, we sent a message to all employees about their belongings and coffee cups being left on the CPU and table, which caused damage to the system. Additionally, food left out has attracted mosquitoes. Despite this communication, some employees have not adhered to the guidelines. How can we address this issue? Please advise.

Hi, maintaining cleanliness in the workplace creates a healthier environment for employees. Leftover food and waste paper contribute to a messy workspace. You should educate all employees about the importance of a clean workplace, which enhances professionalism and motivates employees. Consider circulating a notice emphasizing the significance of maintaining cleanliness in the workplace. If your office has a pantry, provide tea and coffee there instead of distributing them in the workspace.

Hi, thank you! Can we impose a fine?

Hi, I won't suggest the fine system. Please try remedial action first. Keep fines as a last option. By the way, why can't you advise the housekeeping staff to clear the tea/coffee cups immediately after the tea break?

Hi, Dear management team,

I would like to bring to your attention the ongoing issue of cleanliness in the office, particularly with regards to employees not following the established policies. Despite our recent communication to all staff regarding the proper handling of personal items and coffee cups, there are still individuals who have not adhered to these guidelines.

This lack of adherence has resulted in damage to the computer systems and has also attracted pests such as mosquitoes due to the presence of edible items left out. This not only poses a health and safety risk but also impacts the overall productivity and functionality of the office environment.

I would appreciate your guidance and advice on how to address this ongoing issue and ensure that all employees are fully compliant with the cleanliness policies in place.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
