Smoking Shelters Help a Firm Control Their Image
With the legislation against smoking being what it is, it is no surprise to see that many firms are looking into the benefits of providing smoking shelters for their employees. Although it is no longer permissible to smoke indoors, this is not enough to convince people to give up smoking and this means that many employees will go outside for smoking breaks during their shift. Even though some firms may not consider this the best use of their employees time, there are many benefits in providing a covered smoking area for staff members to use.
One of the best reasons for installing smoking shelters is so that the rest of the outside area looks tidy and gives off a better impression to customers. There is no doubt that many people have negative connotations of smoking and if they saw this when entering a shop or commercial premises for the first time, they may develop a negative impression of the firm. Being able to provide smoking shelters in an area where potential customers would not see allows a firm to control the image of their company, which is always of benefit to any business or organisation.
Using smoking shelters should also ensure that all of the smokers congregate in one place, greatly reducing the risk of having the premises littered with cigarette doubts. This can cause any premises to look untidy but by having a single place where employees smoke greatly reduces the likelihood of employees roaming around outside on their break. Again, being able to control the image that customers have of their property is important and smoking shelters should enable a company to create a better impression with respect to the public image of their property, premises and company.
Some of the smoking shelters are very advanced offering a great number of benefits to users. Some shelters come with a bench seating area, allowing people to rest for a while when they are smoking. Other shelters come fitted with UV protection layers, providing people protection from the glare of the sun. If you are lucky enough to have premises that benefit from a lot of sunny days, having this feature as part of your smoking shelter will ensure that your employees or customers can have a smoke without exposing themselves to the harmful rays of the sun for too long. This may not be a major concern for people that smoke but at least the company can say they have their interests at heart.
Having smoking shelters complete with cigarette bins nearby can help to keep your business premises clean and smoke-free but allows smokers a designated space to smoke safely away from any hazards that may be present in the workplace.
