Attracting clients or customers to your business and keeping them happy is what you do. Hiring a janitorial service to clean and maintain your office can help you focus on growing your business. Let’s look a little closer at why hiring a janitorial service is a smart business decision.
Have a Clean Facility to Work In
An obvious benefit to hiring a janitorial service is to have a clean facility to work in. Janitorial services will dust all surfaces and furniture, empty and remove the trash, clean and vacuum floors, and sanitize restrooms. Depending on your needs, periodic floor refinishing, carpet cleaning and window cleaning are also typical. Your facility is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to your specifications for all employees and guests who visit your facility.
Working in a clean environment provides a more inviting workplace which leads to a more efficient and productive workforce. Your employees can focus on their own job duties and priorities in this clean environment without the worries of also having to take time out of their day to empty an overflowing trash can, clean a dirty conference room table and vacuum the carpets and clean the toilets before the big meeting with the important client.
Prevent Diseases and Improve Air Quality
From a health standpoint, a professionally cleaned building helps prevent communicable diseases from spreading and drastically improve air quality. High touch point areas and restroom areas will eventually harbor bacteria, viruses, and germs. Cleaning and sanitizing a workplace on a regular basis will lower the risk of infection. This means that fewer people who encounter these areas will become ill from contaminated surfaces. This will result in less employee time off for sickness or showing up to work with an illness and risking spreading it to others. Along those same lines, if air quality improves and fewer allergens are in the air, building occupants will be less susceptible to allergies.
Janitorial Services Lower Expenses
Hiring an outside service will also help you to lower expenses. Employing someone in-house to perform janitorial work can often be more expensive than hiring an outside contractor after factoring in the cost of insurance, payroll taxes, benefits, equipment, chemicals and training. It also allows your business and employees to maintain their focus instead of cleaning your building.
Beautiful Buildings Win Awards
Beautiful buildings win awards. Eco-friendly offices and green buildings often win community awards or are able to apply for status as recognized contributors to the environmentally friendly movement. Janitorial services can help your business achieve these goals, win awards, and gain publicity as a business that is helping beautify a neighborhood or leading the way in recycling, energy reduction, and environmentally friendly chemicals.
By providing your employees, clients, and customers with a clean and well-maintained building you will create a favorable first impression that communicates your high company standards and a high level of care for your employees and customers. Using a professional janitorial service (instead of an employee) shows that a professional working environment is a priority.
