Dry air at the workplace can cause various irritations for your employees and negatively affect your bottom line. That’s why it is important to have a good indoor climate with the correct level of air humidity.
In general, people are good at ventilating their private homes and keeping an eye on the temperature, but they neglect to do so in their place of work – despite spending many hours a day there.
This is especially important during the winter, where the indoor climate is under extra pressure due to the lower temperatures. The high difference between outside and inside air temperature means that relative air humidity will drop as the air inside increases in temperature – even if it’s raining or snowing outside.
In a dry environment, viruses are easily spread in the air and improper levels of air humidity can therefore increase sick days among your employees.
