The workplace continues to evolve, but one thing remains constant – a positive working environment is the launching pad for success. Of course, a multitude of other factors contribute to the success of a business, but it all starts with the place where we do our work. 

The pandemic opened up a new and heightened awareness around the cleanliness of our offices. And, with more and more employees flowing back to in-person or hybrid office roles, it’s become increasingly important for commercial janitorial services to rise to the occasion. The numbers tell the story:

• A recent study from the Cleaning Coalition of America (CCA) showed that 43% of those surveyed are still worried about the cleanliness of their offices.
• The same report showed that 38.3% stated that subpar cleaning at their workplace could cause them to leave their current roles.
• Another report shows the trend of employees going back to the office on the uptick, as twice as many Fortune 100 companies have returned to the office in 2022 as did in 2021.

The changing face of the workplace has forced savvy commercial janitorial businesses to adapt to the increasingly important role they play in the success of their clients.

5 Ways Janitorial Services Contribute To Success

Understand the fluctuating nature of today’s workspace. A key element to the way a quality janitorial service contributes to your business’s success is related to understanding the patterns and how they’ve changed. Commercial janitorial services need to be flexible enough to match the needs of the hybrid office as well as the traditional working environment. 

Creating transparency in cleaning protocols. As the world adjusts to the post-COVID world, transparency must exist around its office cleanliness protocols. Today’s commercial janitorial service organization steps up to reassure and ensure their clients as to the levels of sanitation that are taking place regularly.

Fostering partnerships with the organizations they serve. At one point in the not-so-distant past, the janitorial service was never seen or heard from – just a service that came after hours and performed a standard set of duties. As things have evolved, workplace decision-makers expect more of a partnership with their janitorial service vendor. They want a deeper, more meaningful relationship to truly ensure that the needs of their employees and the workspace are met.

Emphasize concern for the environment. Top janitorial companies are showing a deeper level of concern for the environment. It’s no longer optional. Businesses are seeking companies that support their “green” vision with their cleaning styles, waste disposal methods and approach to environmental concerns.

Be proactive and preventative. As today’s workplace pivots and flows with changes such as upticks in COVID, staffing increases or decreases or any other event that can’t be predicted, its janitorial service needs to be able to rise to the occasion with a preventative and proactive approach.
