This is what needs to be provided and doesn't include cycle facilities.

As above point out that be making a small space for such items they may gain be needing fewer parking places, employees are generally more punctual (less likelihood of being delayed in traffic), fewer sickness days etc if they commute by bike.

There was an article in the news recently about health workers travelling to work in their uniforms and therefore exposing them to germs, etc.

Quite frankly it doesn't matter in most cases. The majority of health workers wash their own clothes, and modern domestic washing machines do not cater for a thermal disinfection type cycle in line with HSG guidelines, which is now CFPP something or other guidelines.
Harmful infectious bugs and viruses don't get destroyed properly in a domestic machine.
This is a bigger issue in my opinion than clothes getting mucky en route to work.
