problem was eliminated! The bosses got an immediate 10% increase in work without paying a penny for it. Sure they used 50 cents more electricity. And some bosses will gladly lose $1,000's of dollars in work to save 50 cents in electricity. But some people don't care if business makes a profit as long as they LOOK like they are cutting costs.
This isn't only example of how health of a building cuts worker efficiency/effectiveness.
2. We had one business where walls were covered with mold, especially behind pictures and calenders.
Everyone bickered and complained about headaches etc ALL week long. Management was constantly talking to someone from Union about some complaint or another. Workers were constantly taking sick leave. Employee clumsiness was costing a fortune in copying machine and other mechanical repairs.
After cleaning up mold, workplace turned into heaven.
