ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) has launched Changing Workplaces, a research programme to investigate the complex changes the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred in workplaces and facilities across Europe. The first stage is a survey which it would like ECJ readers to take part in.

The survey asks businesses how their facility has evolved its approach to hand hygiene, cleaning waste and recycling since the end of 2019, before the pandemic hit. It poses questions including: what changes are here to stay, how have facility users' demands changed and where do organisations need to raise the bar around cleaning and hygiene in a post COVID-19 world?

Open to respondents across Europe, the survey is relevant to all workplaces and facilities management and health and safety professionals, along with anyone whose role covers cleaning, hygiene, waste management and recycling - in any sector.

RCP says it will analyse the survey results and create a report to provide insights so organisations can benchmark against their sector and benefit from transparent sector-to-sector information sharing to prepare for the future. The results will also shape the advice, education and training provision the company provides.

As a further incentive for taking the time to respond, completed surveys will see the respondent entered into a prize draw, with four top prizes to be won, featuring £250 of Amazon vouchers, along with £500 of RCP products and a specialist consultation for the winners' workplaces. There are also 10 runners up prize bundles of £50 Amazon vouchers, £100 of RCP products and workplace consultations (subject to terms and conditions, click here to find out more).
