The cost of not cooling your greatest assets – your people !
There is wide misconception that cooling large spaces like factories and warehouses is so expensive it is not viable . While there is of course a cost , it may not be as great as initially considered and the benefits of providing a comfortable environment for staff is not only beneficial to the employees in the space but can also reduce absenteeism and promote longevity of employment .
We were really alerted to such benefits by a large retail end-user who installed our product recently in a large warehouse .
Making changes to their building by installing another floor closer to the roof , they knew would create an even greater problem of heat than already existed and already having to pay their staff extra money to carry on working over a certain temperature . Despite there being no legal upper limit currently in the UK , the end-user anticipated if they worsened conditions their staff would be ‘ down the road ’ to go and work in neighboring warehouses .
Like many buildings situated in industrial / commercial areas , the competition in the local employment market is very high and in times of low unemployment , staff can take advantage to pick and choose the best companies .
With high IAQ you can be certain of health benefits for your staff .
In which case , can you afford not to provide the best environment for your staff ? The beauty of choosing evaporative cooling solutions by Seeley International is not just about reducing temperatures because our coolers supply 100 % outdoor air which creates a very comfortable environment , unlike traditional air-conditioning that recycles air that gets stale . With high IAQ you can be certain of health benefits for your staff , leading to reduced headaches & fatigue associated with low IAQ . Purging the space will also reduce the risk of airborne viruses and ultimately increase production .
With low running costs and using only water as a cooling medium , Seeley International can provide you with solutions to promote staff wellbeing which in turn encourages long term staff retention , reducing recruitment and the time & costs associated .
