How A Clean Business Can Boost Your ROI

Efficiency is one of the most critical components of success in 21st Century business. While optimizing your company’s sales is certainly the top priority, there are a lot of other great ways to save costs, boost employee productivity, and maintain a healthy environment.

A lot of commercial property owners and successful business managers find that hiring a professional cleaning service to maintain their office and industrial areas goes a long way toward maximizing their return on investment.

While each business and commercial property is different, there are a lot of key benefits that they all can have in common when it comes to maintaining a clean professional space. This includes things like:

Fewer Employee Sick Days

There’s no doubt about it, a clean workplace and office will go a long way toward reducing days lost to employee illnesses. When trash receptacles aren’t emptied, bathroom floors aren’t cleaned and high-touch surfaces go without being sanitized, germs can spread quickly.

Yet a lot of the cleaning products and equipment available at the consumer level is rarely effective enough at eliminating the pathogenic presence in a business environment. Especially if your professional space sees a lot of foot traffic during a given day.

When you hire a commercial cleaning company like Building Services, you can trust that highly trained professionals are bringing professional-grade cleaning products and equipment to bear. This greatly reduces the presence of bacteria, viruses, and other communicable illnesses in your professional space.

Reduced Staffing Costs

Most businesses find that they get the most out of their employees when they are allowed to focus on their area of specialization. The last thing you want is for a client proposal to be late, or poorly prepared because your sales director was spending too much time vacuuming the hallway and wiping down the kitchenette.

A lot of the time, you don’t have to assign a designated cleaning team, if you hire a professional cleaning company to maintain your office area and workstations. Many times it’s easier for a business manager to contract a third-party custodial staff than it is to ask employees to multi-task or to take on new employees to serve as in-house janitors.

Increased Employee Productivity

Employees who focus on their job duties, rather than spending tons of manhours of cleaning, tend to be far more productive. They also tend to feel more appreciated, which encourages them to go the extra mile. Ultimately, employees who are obliged to multitask regularly do not outperform those who are allowed to stay focused on their business responsibilities.

A Safer Workplace Environment

Beyond reducing the presence of pathogens and communicable diseases, a cleaner business or professional space is also less likely to have on-site accidents. Tripping over something in the hallway, slips and falls, and other seemingly minor office accidents caused by debris can all start to pile up.

At the same time, a commercial cleaning service, like Building Services can also improve indoor air quality by cleaning carpets with the help of HEPA filter vacuums. This can reduce allergens and other respiratory irritants, which can lead to employees missing time.

Reducing Liability Concerns

Commercial properties and professional spaces are always held to higher health and safety standards. By contracting your cleaning services through a professional company like Building Services Inc, you reduce your potential legal obligation to provide a safe working environment for your employees.

This can also help reduce the future cost of things like renewing a business license or professional certification, health and safety laws must be taken into account. Ultimately, a cleaner, safer professional space benefits employees as well as employers.

Reduced Overhead Costs

When you task employees with having to clean your office, you will also need to purchase cleaning supplies and equipment. Yet even with a modest amount of training, employees are likely to overuse cleaning products and potentially misuse equipment. You end up investing in all sorts of vacuums, mops, dusters, and cleaning products like floor polish, towels, brooms, and cleaning chemicals, only to find yourself having to constantly buy more.

When you contract your cleaning needs through a commercial cleaning company like Building Services, we bring all the cleaning products and equipment with us. We then deploy our training to efficiently clean your professional space without delay or interruption to your staff.

Lower Repair & Maintenance Costs

A lot of office employees are not adept at doing things like cleaning and maintaining HVAC systems or clearing bathroom floor drains before they backup. When you hire a commercial cleaning company, you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing trained professionals are keeping an eye on a lot of your essential equipment.

This goes a long way toward reducing long-term maintenance and repair costs. Many times, cleaning technicians catch a small issue that needs attention before it becomes a major problem.

This also includes things like catching mold problems before they exacerbate, as well as maintaining public spaces such as elevators, lobbies, and restrooms.

Impressing Your Visitors & Clients

When a client visits your office or professional space, you can bet that they are assessing every square inch of the facility for signs that you offer the professionalism they need to trust you with their business. Maintaining a meticulously clean professional space goes a long way toward impressing clients. This then translates into greater sales, more referrals, and a stronger reputation within your industry.

The Benefits Of Flexible Scheduling & Professionalism

When you contract a commercial cleaning company like Building Services, you also get the peace of mind that comes from knowing our highly trained and experienced technicians will service your professional space with the utmost discretion.

We also offer flexible scheduling. We can send our cleaning technicians to your place of business during operating hours, or we can set up a time to service your professional spaces after your normal operating hours have ended for the day.
