In every industry, techniques, technologies, processes and procedures change rapidly anddynamically over short periods of time. This is especially true in the commercial cleaning industry. There is no better way to keep up with changes than to share ideas with colleagues and counterparts. While there might be a reluctance to reach out to others in the industry because of a perception of weakness, it is a sign of strength. One must never assume their years of experience will provide all of the answers. Meeting regularly with others who are engaged in the same office cleaning businesses allows for an almost always productive encounter.
A problem shared is cut in half and there is a wealth of knowledge and new information available if you take the time to reach out. Trade shows, conference and trade journals are easy ways to gain new insights and ideas into the office cleaning and commercial cleaning industry. The cleaning industry has really evolved in sophistication over the last decade. New equipment, chemicals and software are being constantly developed. Although it might cost a little to join some organizations and attend conferences, there is much to be gained and little to lose.
Make contacts with colleagues and counterparts and meet to share specific problems. Whether it’s an informal lunch group or a trade association make sure you’re a part of a team. Not only will you gain exposure to new ideas, you will be able to share your expertise with others.
Be sure to consult with your employees as they are your boots on the ground and are very aware of issues and problems facing your company. Develop a culture of knowledge sharing between employees and supervisors and ask the right office cleaning questions. It may take a while for employees to feel comfortable doing this but you must find ways to let them know their input is valued.
Don’t forget to keep office cleaning clients in the loop. Keeping lines of communication open is essential to running a successful business. Don’t wait for a complaint. Be pro active with your office cleaning technicians and knowledge sharing with your clients can help you head off serious problems.
Lastly, don’t try to hide your problems or issues from others. In most cases you will find that they have experienced many of the same challenges and have either found solutions or will work with you to find solutions that will serve everyone’s best interests.
