Outsourcing a janitorial service offers many advantages, including saving you both time and money. A janitorial service reduces in-house staffing costs and administrative burden. Plus, your workforce will be more productive with a cleaner and healthier work environment.
Advantages of Hiring a Janitorial Service
There are significant advantages of cleaning services for your organization, including eliminating in-house staffing expenses and reducing administrative overhead. Here are some of the benefits of hiring a janitorial service:
- Reclaimed Valuable Time
- Reduced Costs
- Increased Productivity
- Healthier and Happier Workplace
Reclaimed Valuable Time
Your staff will immediately notice the benefits of janitorial services. The janitorial service cleans more efficiently because of their training and experience. The work environment will, in turn, be cleaner and organized, allowing your staff to be more efficient.
Reduced Costs
Hiring an external janitorial service is a highly cost-effective solution. As noted earlier, it allows your staff to stay focused on their primary role rather than spending valuable time on cleaning tasks—ultimately saving your organization money. In fact, a study conducted by ISSA (International Sanitary Supply Association) found that 86% of office employees prioritize cleanliness for a productive work environment.
Professional cleaning companies bring their own supplies and equipment, eliminating the need for you to purchase materials or handle ongoing maintenance costs. They can buy their products in bulk at a wholesale price, which equals more savings.
Plus, your company isn’t responsible for the wages of the cleaning team, and the cleaning company is responsible for the insurance of its cleaning staff. By hiring a janitorial service, the insurable liability is removed from your company.
While paying for the janitorial service, in the end, this choice of using the outsourced cleaning company can still save your organization money in the long run on staffing and supplies.
Increased Productivity
The importance of janitorial services to productivity is twofold. First, by relieving employees of cleaning duties, they can concentrate fully on their primary responsibilities – naturally boosting overall efficiency. A clean and organized workplace improves focus and provides a more efficient working environment. Employees feel more productive and produce better quality work in a clean and organized workplace.
Second, a properly cleaned workplace decreases the spread of germs, leading to fewer sick days and a healthier, more consistent workforce. According to the same study by ISSA mentioned above, absenteeism-related productivity losses result in an annual cost of $225.8 billion for U.S. employers, making a clean and sanitary workplace very vital.
Healthier and Happy Workplace
Janitorial services have specific certifications and follow certain cleaning protocols. This means teams are equipped with the proper tools, products, and training, ensuring spaces are properly sanitized to meet industry standards. These factors combined result in a healthier workplace and increased employee morale.
Experience the Benefits of Professional Janitorial Services
Choosing a janitorial service helps your bottom line, increases productivity, and improves workforce morale. While you do have to pay the ongoing costs of a professional service, the money saved on hiring and supplies – plus the time saved – can make it a worthy investment in the long run.
