How 3rd party assessments improve staff performance and satisfaction
Cleaning teams save lives. Apart from proper hand hygiene, the daily cleaning procedures of custodial and environmental service staff is the best way we can stop the spread of harmful, and potentially fatal diseases in indoor spaces.
However, despite the important role cleaning teams play in protecting occupant health, many organizations fall short when it comes to investing in the people that deliver cleaning outcomes. This results in a cleaning staff that’s unmotivated and unengaged which manifests in high-turnover, inconsistent cleaning results, or frequent complaints about facility cleanliness.
Oftentimes, businesses need a third-party assessment to see where their cleaning program can be improved to ensure cleaning staff are empowered with the tools and purpose they need to provide consistent, top-quality cleaning.
The importance of third-party assessments
When was the last time you looked for ways to improve your cleaning program? Or looked for ways to increase retention and satisfaction of your cleaning staff?
A third-party assessment relies on outside professionals to do a complete walkthrough of your current cleaning program to identify opportunities for improvement in cleaning effectiveness and employee engagement. This can include:
- Consolidation of cleaning chemistry
- Professional training to standardize processes & procedures
- Review and optimization of cleaning carts
- Talking with cleaning staff to uncover daily pain points
- Identification of key missing equipment
Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene’s ConfidentCleanTM assessment identifies the methods, products, and processes that can help your cleaning program – and cleaning staff – reach their full potential. It takes the burden of solving cleaning problems off of you and develops an actionable plan to ensure your cleaning team is set up to succeed.
And for Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene customers, assessments are completely free!
Let’s talk about your team…
A common misconception is that that the success of a cleaning program is dependent on the products a business uses. It’s not. It’s about the people they hire, and how those people are empowered to care about the job they do.
You can buy the best cleaning chemicals, but they’ll be ineffective if your staff aren’t trained to use them properly or if they fail to understand the important role their job plays in maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment.
When your employees recognize the impact of their work and feel supported in their efforts, they’re more likely to remain engaged and deliver the results that matter for your facility. Invest in the success and retention of your cleaning team by:
- Investing in professional training
- Scheduling daily huddles to share successes and learning opportunities
- Engaging with cleaning staff on a daily basis
- Ensuring cleaning equipment is in top shape
94% of employees would stay longer at a company that invests in career development and helps them learn.
A hygienic facility is a direct reflection of management’s role in the cleaning process. If you show your cleaning team you care about them, they’ll care about the work they do.
