With most employees spending a minimum of eight hours a day at work, it’s important to have clean, comfortable and secure working conditions. How happy employees are in their workspace can correlate with their job performance, which in turn reflects on the company as a whole. A recent Tools and Tips article on NFIB.com explores some of the top issues small business workplaces face, and offers questions small business owners should ask themselves when reflecting on the workplace they have created for their employees, including:

  • Is the overall appearance of the building shabby or well maintained both inside and out? What conditions are the grounds in?

  • Are there any maintenance issues, such as leaky plumbing, gaps in ceiling tiles, etc? (And don’t forget those bathrooms).

  • Have you taken measures to provide safety and security?
