At Otium Services, we believe that a healthy team is a strong team. While World Health Day provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on physical and mental health, we understand that well-being is something that must be prioritised year-round – especially in an industry like ours.
Cleaning and facilities management is demanding work. Our teams operate across a range of environments – gyms, nurseries, offices, and hospitality venues – often early in the morning, late at night, or during busy shifts. It’s our responsibility to make sure they feel safe, supported, and valued at every stage.
Promoting Physical Health on the Job
We encourage best practices in manual handling and ergonomic cleaning methods, provide proper PPE, and ensure our teams have access to quality equipment to get the job done efficiently and safely. Regular training is built into our process – not only for performance but for health and safety.
We also recognise the importance of preventative care, from hydration and rest breaks to offering flexible working where possible. These small but essential habits contribute to long-term physical health, and we support them at every level of the business.
Prioritising Mental Well-being
Mental health is just as important. Our teams are often on the front line – working with clients, adapting to fast-paced environments, and maintaining standards under pressure. That’s why we create an open, respectful culture where managers regularly check in with staff, and concerns can be raised without hesitation.
We also actively promote awareness around mental health, and our management teams are trained to spot the signs of stress, burnout, or emotional strain, so we can respond with support and understanding.
Our Commitment to Our People
Otium Services is proud of the work we do, and even prouder of the people who make it happen. From structured onboarding and consistent communication to regular feedback loops and development opportunities, we are committed to creating a workplace where people can grow, feel safe, and take pride in what they do.
This commitment isn’t just for World Health Day – it’s part of our culture. Because when we take care of our people, they can take care of everything else.
