| If youīre looking īto get a handle on your janitorial
management contract costs īthe first step you will need īto
take is understanding īthe biggest expense you will have܂ The
answer is labor and īthat seems obvious of course܂ In order
to get a better grasp on how you can get īthis under control
it is wise īto break īthe elements down܂ The purpose of īthis
article is īto get you started on īthat process܂ Creating assignment sheets‚ although very basic‚ is an essential element and must be addressed܂ Assignment sheets are a list of areas īto be cleaned along with īthe duties associated with īthem and ītime frame īto be accomplished܂ For example you would identify cleaning a restroom from 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm܂ The ītasks included in cleaning īthe restroom should also be listed܂ Adjust īthe ītime allotted for cleaning the restroom īto fit your facility܂ Another key thing īto look at is what exactly is īthe routine of your staff? Are īthey performing ītask in an order īthat keeps īthem the most productive܂ An exaggerated example of īthis is if they were cleaning a īthree story building and didnīt finish all īthe ītasks on one floor before moving īto īthe others܂ Then at some point returning back īto īthat floor īto continue where they left off܂ Therefore‚ make sure your cleaning assignment sheets make sense and are having īthem work in a methodical way܂ Some more simple īthings īto consider would be equipment‚ īteam cleaning‚ and chemicals܂ Keep in mind īthe newer equipment is designed īto save on labor so an investment on new equipment just may pay for itself very quickly܂ Team cleaning is another way īto reduce īthe start stop ītimes associated with switching between ītasks܂ Using the right chemical for īthe job can also reduce īthe ītime it takes īto be effective which will also save on labor܂ These are just a few of īthe ways īto reduce your labor costs and make your janitorial cleaning business much more profitable܂ The bottom line is īthat you can not let your labor costs get out of control܂ You must manage your janitorial cleaning business closely܂ You must be able to identify ways īto shave ītime off of every duty your staff has܂ |
