We attach great importance to every detail, to the standards behind each specific area and product used, and to the satisfaction of our customers. We offer in each case a personalized budget after reviewing the premises or building, to advise to clean frequency, and how to carry it out.
But within cleaning services, it is very easy to make mistakes without realizing it.
At SCS Group Integrated Services, we want to present you with several of the most common mistakes, so that you know that we always take them into account before each job, and so that you choose your external cleaning service well.
Within each cleaning service, there must be factors organized in advance to guarantee the cleanliness promised by the company. There may be cases in which everything is not well organized, and therefore the cleaning is not correct.
Outsourcing the cleaning activity is the most appropriate solution, due to the innumerable advantages it provides: staff substitutions, provision of cleaning materials and products, compliance with legislation, etc.
However, the activity of the cleaning company is influenced by a series of factors. If they are not perfectly organized, can lead to the situation that our facilities are not clean. Despite having the service outsourced, in theory, with a professional company.
This can be because of different causes. Some of these are:
Lack of supervision
Every cleaning company must supervise its workers in each service. But where there is no supervision, or it is inadequate, will lead to inefficient cleaning service. The cleaning will not be completely perfect and even it can end up being bad.
Lack of training
In companies specialized in cleaning. We must well train each of their workers in their tasks, those without training cannot apply the techniques that allow them to get the best results as quickly as possible. An untrained worker will waste more time, and the cleaning result will be worse.
Lack of equipment
If it is a professional cleaning service company. It will have the equipment, appropriate tools, and products for each type of surface and material that needs replacement and make sure it is in good condition.
Lack of motivation
Employee motivation is one of the most important parts of a cleaning service. I will always carry out a job without motivation inefficiently and with little commitment.
Disengaged employees
Sometimes we come across employees who are not willing to do their work. This normally happens in companies that do not apply motivation and recognition policies to their employees, or the hiring people who show disinterest in the sector.
If we find ourselves in any of the above situations, we must change the cleaning company. Ask for several offers or budgets and make sure that our new cleaning company does not incur the exposed weaknesses.
In SCS Group Integrated Services, we take care of always keep in mind these small errors. That can happen within this service. Customers’ and employees’ satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. For the internal motivation of workers, we offer motivation policies and workshops, and intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to our employees.
