Top Washroom Facilities Attract Top Talent & Clients

Staff retention is a serious matter, and companies are working harder than ever to retain good employees. It’s counterproductive to rattle through staff, and the investment in training and development can vanish in an instant if an offer at a better workplace comes knocking. 

Most SMEs recognise the importance of creating a positive and inviting workspace and offer perks such as flexible working hours, free breakfasts, and generous away days to help boost morale and improve productivity. However, the washrooms are notoriously an area that gets overlooked.

The adage ‘if it ain’t broke, don't fix it’ is sometimes used to also improve hygiene in your washroom, reducing the spread of bacteria and subsequent sick days among staff, as an excuse not to refurbish. However, the washroom is a personal and private space, and users want to feel the same intuitiveness and comfort they do in the rest of the workplace. But before you scare the finance guy, know that there are also ways to refresh your washroom without heading into a full-blown refurbishment project.

Wash trough sensor activation.

Sensor activation is incredibly intuitive and can also lead to significant water and electricity savings. Taps and flushers only emit a controlled amount of water, and hand dryers or light switches activate when in use. If you consider that sensor activation enhances hygiene and makes the washroom easier to clean, choosing sensor taps makes complete sense on almost every level.

Increasingly popular across almost all sectors is the wash trough. Large communal hand-wash areas are easier to clean and maintain than individual washbasins and can make a statement in your washrooms. With a diverse range of options, you can also find wash troughs to fit your corporate personality. Wash troughs can also be paired with a variety of taps to continue bold design statements, such as Dolphin monobloc mixer taps that come in brilliant finishes.

Colour & imagery in a toilet room

Embracing colour through your washroom is a great way to revitalise the space. With solid-grade laminate available in a phenomenal range of colours, you can easily incorporate your brand’s colours. Photographic or illustrated decals can also be used, which can really bring energy to what has historically been a rather stale and unloved environment.

Showers at work

Whether you have employees who enjoy cycling, hitting the local gym for cross-fit, or are in training for an upcoming run, staff showers allow these motivated employees to fit in their activities around work much more easily. Whether they’re cycling or working out before arriving at the office, or trying to make the most of their lunch break, a single shower enclosure can be a great addition to your staff retention strategies.
