As technology and lifestyles change over time, so do the requirements in the workplace and one thing that is becoming more common is the installation of a shower in the office workplace. It may seem unusual, but there are a number of reasons why it’s a great idea.

Exercise & Commutes

As more workers take up cycling and jogging as morning exercise on their way to work, they like to wash and change before starting their work day. A shower in the office leaves them feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead.

Workers in the city often have long commutes and if they have after-work social events, there might not be enough time to go home and change. A shower in the office means they can freshen up and change before heading out.

Some workplaces are now offering fitness spaces or may have groups who like to head off for a jog at lunchtime or after work. Installing showers in the workplace means that workers can incorporate their exercise regimes into the workday, leaving them feeling energised and refreshed.

Work Environment & Safety

Workers may sometimes be asked to undertake tasks that mean they might end up wanting to take a shower and get clean. These may range from vigorous tasks that involve working up a sweat through to handling dusty or dangerous substances. Having a shower in the workplace means they will be more willing to take on the tasks if they know they can shower before getting on with the rest of the day or heading home.

Showers in the workplace should be as water-efficient as possible. MK Electrics have a great deal of experience in installing showers in the workplace and will be happy to advise you as to the most suitable showers for your needs.
