Do you manage a hybrid workplace with many employees and coworkers? If so, how are you making sure that your workplace is clean enough to prevent the spread of viruses and germs?

Many office managers prefer using their own supplies to clean all the desks, chairs, and floors. However, they don’t understand that their staff and products are not always good enough to provide top-quality cleaning. Besides, your staff may fail to deliver commercial or corporate cleaning results without training. 

To avoid that, you need to stop relying on your own supplies for hybrid workplace cleaning. Instead, you should get cleaning services on board to do this job professionally for you. 

If you have a cleanroom at your workplace, you know from experience that the primary challenge is keeping your cleanroom contaminant-free. Going by the Federal standard 209E, cleanrooms should have a concentration of less than 0.5 micron per cubic meter of air particles. This means even the smallest airborne particles such as dust, skin particles, grease bacteria, fibers, fungi, human hair, viruses, and ions are hazardous to your cleanroom. 

At a time when we are experiencing a tidal wave of resignations, it is even more imperative for companies to reassess what is driving this recent shift. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4.5 million workers have left their jobs in Nov. 2021. 

Cleanrooms are a must-have for many industries today. From those used in data centers and the tech sector to biopharmaceuticals and space companies, the types of cleanrooms vary depending on how clean the room needs to be. The standards of cleanliness are so important that failure to maintain the room according to ISO’s standards may lead to a lot more than disruption of your services. On top of losing money due to paused operations, you can also get hefty fines and even lose your ISO cleanroom classification!

The most effective cultures create conditions where people and businesses can thrive.

According to Steelcase Research, most people want to come to a better office and don’t necessarily want to work from home exclusively. 32,000 participants were surveyed across 10 countries. 54% of US respondents say they expect to work from home one day a week or less; 26% say they expect to work from home just two to three days per week.

The workplace will need to do a better job to inspire people to get back to the office and help them work better in the future.

Although the terms cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting are generally used interchangeably, they actually have different meanings when it comes to products designed for janitorial or residential usage. 

Cleanrooms are specially designed areas that provide various cleanliness levels, prevent particle contamination, and filter air. However, the design alone is not enough to keep these rooms clean as contaminants accumulate as the room is used. Having a cleaning protocol is vital to maintaining the pristine conditions of a cleanroom.

Illness in the workplace is unavoidable. Despite your best efforts, employees will get sick. This can have an impact not only on the wellness and morale of your workforce but also on overall business productivity. 

Toys for Tots Drive 2021

This holiday season Pegasus had the opportunity to participate in the annual Toys for Tots drive. For a few weeks, our San Diego headquarters and Long Beach office had Toys for Tots boxes that our team filled with toys. Our team was motivated to get as many toys to children this Christmas. Dianne Moore (Director of Training and Development), Diana Lopez (Director of HR) and Ricardo Maggin (Field Safety Representative) made some travels to gather the filled boxes and deliver them to the Navy Operational Support Center in San Diego. Margarita Pankratz (Operations Supervisor), Rene Rios (Corporate Trainer), Irma Rehberg (HR Assistant), Christina Munoz (Customer Service) and Ricardo Maggin spent their day lending a hand by sorting toys at the center on December 15, 2021.

Server rooms are great at picking up dust, dirt, and debris. Unfortunately, this can damage essential systems and cost thousands to fix. That's why server room cleaning is essential when operating any business that stores vital electronic information in-house and is an important part of data center preventive maintenance.
