Clean Hands, Healthy Workplace: How to Encourage Better Hand Hygiene

5/14/2025

0 Comments

 
Keeping a clean, healthy workplace goes beyond spotless floors and sanitized surfaces — it starts with something simple: good hand hygiene. Encouraging proper handwashing habits in your facility can significantly reduce the spread of germs, minimize employee sick days, and create a healthier environment for everyone who walks through your doors.
Here are some effective ways to promote and improve hand hygiene in your facility:

Make Hand Hygiene Stations Easily Accessible
Convenience is key. Ensure that handwashing sinks and hand sanitizer dispensers are readily available in high-traffic areas such as:
  • Building entrances and exits
  • Break rooms and cafeterias
  • Restrooms
  • Conference rooms
  • Elevators and stairwells
  • Touch-free dispensers are a great option to minimize contact and improve compliance.

Use Clear, Friendly Signage
Simple, visible reminders can make a big difference. Place handwashing and sanitizing signs throughout your facility — near sinks, dispensers, and communal spaces. Choose signage with clear instructions and a positive tone, like:

“Clean Hands, Healthy Team!” or “Sanitize Before You Socialize!”
Consider updating your signage seasonally or after cold and flu season spikes to keep things fresh and noticeable.

Stock Quality Hygiene Products
Make sure your facility is stocked with effective, skin-friendly products such as:
  • Antibacterial soap
  • Alcohol-based hand sanitizers (at least 60% alcohol)
  • Moisturizing lotions (to prevent dry, irritated skin from frequent washing)
When people have access to products they actually like using, they’re more likely to keep up the habit.

Lead by Example
Encourage your leadership team and staff supervisors to model good hand hygiene practices. When employees see management actively participating, it sets the expectation and normalizes regular handwashing and sanitizing throughout the workday.

Incorporate Hand Hygiene into Your Cleaning Protocols
Partnering with a professional cleaning company (like us!) ensures that high-touch surfaces are regularly disinfected, and hygiene stations stay fully stocked. We can help assess your facility’s layout and recommend optimal placement for sanitizing stations and signage.

The Bottom Line
A few simple changes can make a huge difference in your facility’s overall cleanliness and employee wellness. Prioritizing hand hygiene helps protect your staff, clients, and visitors — keeping everyone safer and your business running smoothly.
