When you want to ensure that your commercial bakery is a comfortable workplace for all your team members, one important factor to keep in mind is noise. This is a stressor that is overlooked by many employers. Prolonged exposure to loud noise triggers a stress response — it can lead to spikes in heart rate and blood pressure.
Workers exposed to a noisy environment are also less productive. It’s more difficult to focus on the task at hand when there is a lot of noise. Along with the noise from the machinery, your team members will also be hearing conversations, phones ringing, and other types of sounds that normally occur in the workplace. You can’t do anything about them, but you can make a point of considering the horizontal loaf bread machine’s decibel levels before purchase so that your employees are more comfortable (and more productive) on the job.
