Are your office cleaners all of the above?
Its something we find isn't considered by a lot of companies especially when they are trying to cut costs in todays difficult business environment.
But any office cleaning company can claim to be professional and reliable and lets face it for most cleaners that really is an absolute minimum standard.
Are your office cleaners properly vetted?
Many businesses probably don't take the time to find out that the cleaner they have in their office is not actually posing a threat by having access to your sensitive company documents. We think that it pays dividends to ensure your third party cleaning company can confirm and prove that they have vetted their employees to make sure they do not have a dubious or shady past.
It is also imperative that if you employ your cleaner directly you understand what legal right they have to work in this country. The British government's frontline UK Border Agency is increasingly getting round to checking employee's legal status and its only a matter of time of getting caught! If you are taking that risk then its very likely a hefty fine of £10,000 that you'll face for every employees that has no right to work in the United Kingdom.
Trained Cleaners take Pride in their work
Clockwork carefully scrutinises our cleaners performance to make sure they come up to our clients standards. All cleaners should be shown how to clean properly with Health and Safety in mind. With a cleaning company that takes an active interest in its employees development you should be safe in the knowledge your cleaner knows how to use cleaning material and chemicals correctly so as to prevent harm to themselves or any of your own employees in your office.
It is also generally understood that trained cleaners take a higher level of personal pride in their work which always goes a long way to ensuring a good job is carried out.
An Un-Insured Cleaner could be a potential Financial Timebomb for your Business
You leave your office safe in the knowledge that your cleaners will take care whilst out of your supervision - alas this idea does not always go to plan! Things may get broken or damaged and it may well be you having to claim on your own insurance which will likely lead to higher premiums for your business.
A professional cleaning company should be able to demonstrate they take care of their cleaning liability and be able to prove they are commercially insured to operate on your premises.
Any cleaner that is reluctant to show evidence of being insured should be discounted, yes you may save money in the short term but what happens if that cleaner was to cause thousands of pounds worth of damage on an accidental basis - we can promise you it will cost you more in the long run!
