The quality of your hotel's administrative office air directly affects your employee's health. This is due to many reasons; one being is the number of hours that employees must work in this confined space. Some of the consequences of poor indoor air quality are: loss of worker attention and productivity, negative health effects, increased building energy and maintenance costs, and even the possibility of civil liability suits against the property. Many national and state governments have banned smoking in any public facility, such as office buildings so be sure to check what laws apply to your property.

Taking a proactive stance to implement indoor air quality programs in office areas will benefit employees and increase their loyalties. One simple solution to address the office air quality issue is to mandate smoking office employees to smoke outside the building, and the hotel should also modify its air handling equipment to ventilate "fresh" air. Aside from the smoking issue, there are many other factors that influence an office's air quality, such as carpeting, cleaning and the maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC).

Here are some ideas to improve air quality in your office:

• Ban office employees' smoking in any hotel areas
• Improve and modify the HVAC systems in offices
• Vacuum office's floors and clean the office completely
• User as much fresh air as possible in offices
• Replace the office's carpet, furnishings & furniture which may generate unpleasant smells
• Clean and maintain the air ventilation system filters frequently
• Call for an immediate repair if the HVAC system develops a problem
• Establish an effective employee training program about indoor air quality improvement
• Comply with any national or local regulations on air quality; if none  exist, develop your own prudent standards
