Solve Your Facility Management Challenges Through Outsourcing

As a facility manager, you are tasked with juggling many things and prioritizing them correctly can be difficult. Understanding the impact of each task may make it easier to decide which should be placed at the top of the list. How far up on the priority list is the cleanliness of your building?

No matter what kind of facility you manage, the cleanliness of it should be listed amongst your top priorities. Keeping a facility clean, while managing all of your other duties, might seem impossible, so alleviate some of your stress by outsourcing your cleaning tasks to the professionals at U.S. Servico. By partnering with us, we can solve the following problems, and more.

The Struggle of Scheduling

In medical facilities, schedules are extremely important. There are times of the day where hospitals and medical facilities are the busiest, compared to later at night when the facility calms down. Whether you are a medical facility that closes at night or one that is open 24-7, you know which days and times are calmer, so you need a cleaning staff that can work with your schedule. Whether you need to have the cleaning completed in the early morning or late at night, this cleaning company must provide a flexible cleaning schedule. Smaller cleaning companies are limited on staff and may not be available to you other than during your busiest time period. U.S. Servico has around the clock staffing to offer the best flexibility with your schedule.

The Perks of Training

When you think about cleaning your building, you may not think about safety. The reality is that cleaning specialists have proper training in safety that an employee from a different industry does not. If you are having trouble with the engine in your vehicle, you would not take it to your hair salon to be serviced. When it comes to cleaning buildings, you need to know a variety of safety issues in terms of the building. Many buildings require different cleaning scopes for a variety of safety purposes. Some buildings may have hazardous equipment, where they require cleaners to take specific training courses, and medical facilities require cleaners to be bloodborne pathogen certified. Cleaning specialists are taught how to use products and to mix the correct amount of chemicals to ensure that they do not harm anyone in the building. Keep in mind that certain chemicals, if mixed, can be extremely harmful, and even deadly. Someone who is trained will not make those kinds of mistakes.

The Tiring Impact of Stress

When you are dealing with large office buildings or facilities, there are a lot of challenges to the cleanliness of the building. On one hand, you may not have the time to dedicate to cleaning or the money to hire individuals to work for you. When working with a medical facility or office building, you also have to address the issues of their occupants.

As a building manager, you may not have the time. Outsourcing the job tends to lessen your everyday stress. Likewise, it can be less of a strain on your building’s funds. You cannot expect to perform your job in an effective and productive manner if you are buried under the stress of finding someone to clean your facility. Instead, it is easier to outsource the task and find a company that can accomplish the cleaning.

U.S. Servico takes it one step further and helps with your management needs. We have a full management team during the day that helps with client relations. We have found that this builds the bond between your occupants and you and your company as well. If someone has a question, our team is equipped to find the answer quickly.

The Problem with Budgeting

As a facility manager, you are probably always looking for ways to cut costs. Initially, hiring an in-house cleaning crew may seem more cost-effective. However, once you add in the cost of taxes, employee benefits, and not to mention the onboarding cost, the price rises exponentially.

If you are low on money and need to make cuts, it may be easier to do so in-house. However, reducing the frequency and number of employees can cause backlash. If understaffed, the employees may demand higher pay or better benefits. In some cases, if these demands are not met, employees may begin to quit.

Outsourcing cleaning to a well-run, professional company is more financially responsible. Outsourcing saves you time and money processing payroll and providing employee benefits. U.S. Servico not only provides trained, qualified employees, but we also tailor our cutting-edge equipment and products to the needs of your facility. We put a lot of time and effort into researching the correct products and purchase them in large volumes, securing huge cost savings for you and your company.

The Cost of Supplies

There are a lot of issues that you need to consider when it comes to purchasing cleaning supplies for your facility. One of the main concerns is whether you are going to pay for your own supplies. Professional companies often come prepared with the necessary products. This takes the stress out of deciding which products to purchase for your facility. As previously mentioned, they buy supplies in bulk, making it much more cost-effective. Professionals are also aware of the health and safety risks associated with cleaning supplies. By letting them handle the supplies, you can rest assured that those who enter your building will be safe.

U.S. Servico also has a Warehouse Manager and team to answer any questions you may have. We also keep many of our supplies in stock at our warehouse so that supplies do not run out.

The Help of Solutions

Facility managers face many challenges, and not all can be solved the same way. When it comes to cleaning, the solution is based on the needs of the facility. Some businesses require cleaning several times a week, whereas others may only need cleaning once or twice a week. Outsourcing makes all these solutions possible.

The cleanliness of your facility is crucial to the success and image of your company. While some businesses may hire an in-house team, this is not always the best decision. In fact, when you outsource, you are more likely to find people who can clean your building at a better cost and without interfering with your business. There is no reason to let the cleanliness of your business fall to the wayside. When you outsource, you have a company that can dedicate time to setting a high standard for your building.

We have decades of experience in the commercial cleaning industry, let us help you. Contact us today by calling 248-671-4229 or sending us an email.
