Going Green earns Green Premiums

During the time known as the Orange Era, citric cleaning products were brought to the market boasting of environmental safety, but left a stubborn mindset that these cleaning products were expensive and not as good as conventional products. The good news is that we are now in the Green Era, and the newer products are only 2% to 4% more expensive than commonly-used products. We are slowly discovering that the new generation of Green Products are as good or better than the products now in use by cleaning services. One of the issues of the Green transition for any company is the costs for any project, and it is interesting to learn that “Going Green” has other benefits that can offset and overwhelm the modest cost of Green cleaning. We all want a clean building, but we should also want a healthy building, and using a Green Clean janitorial service is the way to have both. In the end, you will find that this transition is a financially-smart decision. Instead of slowly aggravating the health of the employees, the Green program is designed to avoid harmful practices and introduce healthier alternatives. This new practice will alleviate acute and chronic illnesses, and that has a financial reward that can be a financial asset. Employee absenteeism is a negative cost factor to your company. Your employees are the source of business and revenue for your company. You may think these costs are a problem for the insurance company, but the costs for these employees contribute to the premium increases paid by the company. While some costs are paid by the employee, the health insurance costs are a significant part of company expenses. Obviously, healthier employees will help reduce health insurance premiums. Another related Green Premium is the alertness and productivity of the students or workers in the facility. Most of us know the feeling of a smell that triggers a headache or irritation. When I would go bowling in the smoke-laden bowling ally, I would inevitably get a headache. Fumes from diesel will cause other to react badly. Keeping your people on the top of their game is a big part of a profitable company. On the marco scale of things, the well-being of a company’s workers ripples out into the world. The cost of caring for sick, debilitated workers is a societal issue. The trash and waste discharges of a company leaves the facility that has been cleaned to be handled by the sanitary services outside our facility. This affects our taxes and our health issues elsewhere. As we consider the Green Premium, it is realized in savings through healthy employees. Health insurance, health costs, and taxes are part of the overall equation that we pay in one form or another. Therefore, the 2-4% costs of moving to a Green workplace seems powerfully overwhelmed by the health and tax cost savings.
