TORK OFFICE
HYGIENE
PACKAGE TM
IMPROVES
WORKPLACE
SATISFACTION
New from Essity is the Tork Office
Hygiene Package TM designed to
help businesses improve staff
satisfaction in the workplace.
The package incorporates smart
hygiene solutions, a new air freshener
and the Office Complaints Minimiser
which allows facility managers to test
their hygiene and cleaning knowledge
against industry data.
Gripes about toilets account for
more than 45 per cent of office
building complaints according to a
recent Statista study.
And a second survey carried out in
2022 revealed that 86 per cent of
office employees regard cleanliness
as the most important aspect of a
good working environment, while
85 per cent believe the state of the
washrooms reflects the cleanliness
of the building overall.
“If restrooms are run well and
efficiently, cleaning teams have more
time to clean the rest of the facility,”
says Anna Königson Koopmans,
Marketing Director Commercial for
Essity’s professional hygiene business.
“And our research shows that better
cleaning quality leads to better
employee workplace satisfaction.”
The Office Complaints Minimiser
is a gamified digital challenge aimed
at improving facility managers’
knowledge about hygiene and
cleaning solutions in a bid to reduce
complaints and save time.
Also incorporated in the Tork Office
Hygiene Package is Tork Vision Cleaning
which is designed to take the guesswork
out of the cleaning operation. Using
real-time data from people-counters
and connected dispensers, Tork Vision
Cleaning indicates to facility managers
and cleaning staff those situations
where extra cleaning might be required
and where dispenser refilling is needed.
This reduces the number of dispenser
checks required by up to 91 per cent
while also ensuring that all
dispensers are kept topped up 99 per
cent of the time.
And helping to keep the office
environment smelling fresh is the
new Tork Constant Air Freshener, a
propellant-free aircare system that
neutralises odours continuously
and evenly. The dispenser can be
mounted at a reachable height for
cleaners, unlike many systems that
need to be placed high up on the wall
in order to be effective. This means
refills can be easily integrated into
normal cleaning routines, while the
product is third-party certified as
easy to use for speedier refilling.
“Facility managers are facing
multiple challenges including supply
chain issues, labour shortages,
sustainability legislation and a high
staff turnover,” said Anna Königson
Koopmans. “Taking the pressure off
them is important for us and we are
always looking at how our products
and services can deliver both a great
user experience and drive more
efficient cleaning.”
