How can facility management companies help corporate offices be more proficient?

The corporate companies usually set aside 30% of their revenue for housekeeping and cleaning teams per year. This amount doesn’t include raw material and cleaning supplies. They hold their own large share which brings the total to a whopping 40-45% of the annual revenue of the company.

This amount can be reduced to a 15-18% when 3rd party facility management companies are hired. These companies have their own trained team of employees and handle their payroll themselves.

How facility managers help to improve their workings:

• Invest in upright equipment: The equipment used by the facility management team is brought along by them only. This means the equipment and tools have to be adequate for the job and efficient enough for good durability. Once the facility management companies realise that the cost of the equipment comes out of their revenue and not the hired company’s, some of them usually hoodwink to cheap tools. But a good manager can take it as an opportunity and invest inadequate equipment to deliver proficient services. The old equipment can either be recycled or dispose of in such places which exchange it for some office furniture, like a bargain.

• Use Eco-friendly Products: Facility Management teams and their companies should do their research and give preference to those who follow specific environmental practices and protocols so any savings a spread across a “greener” supply chain. Also using eco-friendly and human safe products in the workspace can reduce the chance of allergens and infections. This will reduce the chances of sick leaves among employees.

• Analysing and making clever decisions: Although the cleaning supplies and tools are the responsibility of the facility management team, they do use some of the company’s resources. And they are also in charge of some of smaller parts like the hot water usage for cleaning and drinking and when and how much to use the boiler or heating greasers. The AC temperature, the usage of the elevators, the lights, etc. are all done by the housekeeping staff. Thus, they can be clever about it and analyse how to use them to the best abilities.

• The Workings: Although the work timings, shifts, paychecks, hiring and firing are done by the facility management company, the workings of the team have to be still monitored. The ethical way of working has to be maintained.

• Training: although the team comes in completely trained, regular training to upkeep the morale of the team can be done within the company itself. Especially when the company introduces new products, employees or merges up with another company. The training of the team usually keeps on changing perspective in co-working offices.

The burden of trust and representing the best lays upon the team. The facility management companies through their housekeeping team can get the corporate offices to be presented as clean, well maintained and completely proficient to fry bigger fish!
