Chances are, it&#8217;s not in anyone&#8217;s job description, but cleaning up after yourself shows that you respect your fellow workmates. A survey by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essityusa.com\/media\/us-news\/2021\/backtobusiness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Essity USA<\/a> indicates that an overwhelming number of Americans want increased hygiene standards that were part of the pandemic to stay in place for good.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/03\/the-case-for-finally-cleaning-your-desk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">studies<\/a> have demonstrated that our surroundings influence and impact our emotional well-being, how we interact with others, and how productive we are at work. Particular areas of concern should be addressed by everyone in the office unless there is someone who is employed to do it. If any of these describe your office, it might be time to bring it to your team&#8217;s attention to fix the issues.<\/p>\n<h2>1.
