We are currently looking to expand our team in order to meet the increased demand for our services and further our efforts for future growth. The roles that we have available are ideal for those looking for limited, flexible hours and offer many benefits for your physical and mental wellbeing.
Here, we take a look at the physiological, psychological and social benefits of being a cleaning operative for Regimental Cleaning Services.
Physiological benefits
According to verywellfit.com, cleaning – as an action – can actually contribute to burning over 200 calories per hour depending on what cleaning activity you are undertaking. For example, scrubbing surfaces can burn 4 calories per minute.
In contrast, in an office environment where you are sat for the majority of your day, you will only burn 1 calorie per minute. Any activity that involves raising your heart rate above resting rate is deemed physical activity, and this will result in improved cardiovascular health over time.
Not to mention, your core muscles are constantly in use, whether that is carrying equipment, scrubbing or vacuuming. Many of our employees see this kind of work as a mini-workout and a perfect way to exercise if you have a busy home life.
Here are some cleaning activities and their calorie equivalent:
Sweeping x 10 minutes = 37 calories
Vacuuming x 10 minutes = 37 calories
Ironing x 20 minutes = 50 calories
Mopping x 20 minutes = 42 calories
Making beds x 10 minutes = 23 calories
Washing dishes x 10minutes = 26 calories
Psychological benefits
One psychological benefit of our work is that being productive produces positive mental energy, and seeing a commercial building or domestic property go from cluttered and dirty to sparkling clean will create a great sense of achievement.
It is widely known that cleaning is a therapeutic process, and this is because stress and anxiety are reduced when in a clean space, and committing to a task until completion leads to improved mood once finished. Additionally, the act of cleaning can also directly lead to increased attention span and focus.
Our cleaning operative roles are very low-stress with clear goals and a structured routine, which declutterthemind.com states can provide you with job satisfaction and mental clarity.
Social benefits
From a social perspective, being part of a team with a unified goal at each site is important for promoting a team ethos. As a company with armed forces roots, we know the value of a team-first mentality and have a strong track record of hiring ex-armed forces members.
The nature of our industry also means we are always up to date and proactive with COVID protocols and restrictions, ensuring our employees are safe and protected whilst on site.
