As an office manager, whether it’s a hat you wear or your official title, it is part of your role to make sure the office is clean, efficient, and running smoothly. This can include a variety of tasks that make the office space a well-oiled machine designed to serve your clients – whether that is patients, students, customers – or staff. As part of your role, you have to find ways to balance expenses in alignment with goals, and one question that may come up is discovering if commercial office cleaning services are worth it. The answer is in your goals and desired outcomes.

Do your employees seem to take more than normal sick days?

If your employees tend to be out sick often, commercial cleaning services could help support a cleaner and healthier environment. Germs on surfaces, or even in air ducts, allow for easy sharing and spreading of disease and sickness.

By reducing sick time labor loss, you increase productivity, resulting in a healthier office space, and a better bottom line.

Using current employees to do office cleaning may seem like it offers a benefit- no new hiring, no outsourcing. However, if the employee isn’t specifically trained in professional, commercial cleaning, they could be a liability, not an asset.

Injuries as a result of their cleaning, such as improper storage or use of chemicals, incorrect dilution, or using equipment poorly, can result in an ineffective clean, or injury to themselves or others. Does your worker’s compensation or insurance cover the potential costs a non-commercially trainer cleaner could cause?

Do you have high employee morale?

Do you find employees stepping over trash, rather than picking it up? Do employees tend to overfill trash cans, or leave messes behind them? These can be a sign of lower morale. In general, a clean office space demonstrates to employees that their health and safety matter to management. When clean space is a priority and is role-modeled, it is often duplicated.

Could a cleaner, better-maintained office space help with employee morale?

When clients come into your office space, do they feel comfortable or do they see dust and overflowing trashcans, or worry about sanitary bathrooms? When people visit, are they safe, or do you notice trip hazards or other problems? Commercial cleaning companies can help to make sure your office space, regardless of who is visiting, is both aesthetically pleasing, but also safe, but being aware of any potential problems, and reporting or fixing them (if that’s part of their services). Customers will want to return and are more likely to refer others when they feel the space is safe, clean and inviting.
