Germs can spread like wildfire in any work environment as a result of unhygienic employee habits. Whether it be sneezing without using a tissue, leaving dirty dishes in the communal kitchen sink or not wiping away food crumbs on desks. But exactly how germy is your place of business? And how important is it to ensure good workplace hygiene?

However, unless your cleaning contract specifically includes the provision of deep cleaning tasks several times a year, your workplace may not be as clean and hygienic as you think.
