Insource or Outsource your Janitorial Service

Companies have the choice to insource or outsource janitorial services. Having a janitorial service on staff is a good option for companies whose janitorial needs can be combined with other staffing requirements that form one or more full time jobs AND can be done in the evenings when employees are not being disturbed. This can be done in companies that have a high need for maintenance services that when combined with cleaning become a complete job.

Many companies find that staffing janitorial services internally is incompatible with their staffing needs and prefer to outsource the service. This can be especially true of venues like shopping malls, strip shopping centers, medical offices, professional buildings and other white collars environments.

The Outsourced Janitorial Service Challenge

When a company outsources the janitorial service they solve a lot of staffing problems but they create a number of management and logistic problems to deal with. The best janitorial services understand this problem and work with the firm to address these issues. Many times firms look for the lowest bid solution to staffing without fully examining the hidden costs of doing a poor job selecting a supplier. Low cost is, of course, important but it can all be undermined by poorly implemented janitorial services and the cost of hiring and firing.

Trust in your Cleaning Company

Trust. This is a serious factor in hiring an outsourced company. These people are in your building when no one else is. Not only can objects of value be stolen but corporate documents and company confidential information can disappear. Apollo Janitorial uses a rigorous screening process on hiring its employees screening out potential problems. This is evident in the firms retention rate which is among the highest in the janitorial service industry.

The Quality your Cleaner Delivers

Quality. Happy employees are productive employees. Unhappy employees lead to water cooler discussions, blown out of proportion accusations, and time spent complaining and griping. Worse than that are company executives that see these problems and form opinions of the staffing department that may not be most favorable. To avoid this, cleaning must be routine, repetitive, and thorough. Skipping corners, hurrying through or avoiding tasks is a sure way to create unmet expectations. Apollo has a written cleaning policy, signed off by the employees, with double checks during the cleaning process. All items on the list are covered and check to verify meeting performance. Carpet cleaning, vacuuming, window cleaning, polishing, dusting, and disinfecting are all set up on a customer approved and agreed to schedule. Our janitors all know this and work to meet performance targets.

How your Janitor Upholds your External Appearance

Price. Let's face it. Janitorial services is a competitive business. Janitors are paid comparable wages among the various service providers. The cost differences don't vary a lot company to company.
