When it comes to office cleaning, the C suite, the space occupied by your company’s top executives, requires some special consideration. A company’s highest-ranking senior managers not only face tons of daily pressure, but they also play host to every VIP and important client who visits your facility. To ensure that their office area projects the right image and a positive work environment, a sensitive and thorough approach to cleaning and maintenance is critical.
What Does the C Suite Say About Your Company?
First impressions happen only once. When clients or business partners walk into your executive wing, do they see a polished, clean and positive environment that best reflects your company? Overflowing trash cans, dirty windows and a messy boardroom won’t win you any points with those you are bringing into your business. And, not surprisingly, even executives respond emotionally to the space around them. No employee — manager or otherwise — can do their best work in a cluttered, distracting environment.
Consider the Cost of Professional Cleaning
You make many tough choices every day in your business. One of those is whether it’s more cost-effective to hire your own staff to keep the C suite clean or to contract out your office cleaning services. Hiring a cleaning service is often the more cost-effective route for a business, but it makes sense from a security perspective as well. Using a bonded and insured professional cleaning service reduces liability, improves confidentiality and helps prevent potential personnel issues associated with having a cleaning crew on your payroll. Asking employees to do double duty is never a good idea, but it can be even more risky in the executive wing, as confidentiality and security are always of concern.
What Cleaning and Janitorial Services Offer
A professional commercial cleaning company brings the knowledge and experience required to handle all of the issues you may have with your executive offices. Their staff is familiar with different types of upgraded finishes typically found in these areas and they can maintain them appropriately. Janitorial companies also operate in environmentally friendly ways, and that means they are more efficient with an eye for detail, just like the executives who run your company. Professional office cleaners understand how to minimize disruptions and will work around your upper management staff’s schedule.
Be Prepared
If a client or business associate were to stop by your C suite, would they think you were efficient and organized, and that you operate in a professional manner? Facilities managers and employees can take some special steps each day to keep your office clean and sanitary between cleaning crew visits. Keep a closet fully stocked with cleaning supplies for your office, including glass cleaner, dusting spray, rubbing alcohol and paper towels. For a more professional image, limit the number of items on administrative staff’s desktops and workspaces. Stacks of paper and myriad personal effects can make a room look cluttered and disorganized. Store anything that is not used frequently or that projects an unprofessional image. If you have plants in your office, care for them by removing any brown leaves and watering them consistently. If keeping plants healthy is not your forte, consider artificial plants or no plants at all.
