Why Hire Janitorial Contractors, Handyman & Other Outsourced Facility Service Providers?
Executive Summary
Outsourcing your facility services means more than just finding quality janitorial contractors to clean your facilities. It’s a strategic business decision with many great benefits. And it all comes down to a single bottom-line: making your business better. Outsourcing your facility services can give you a competitive advantage by providing the time you need to help you grow your business and outshine your competition.
Focus On Your Core Competency
Your business provides specialized products and/or services. Each business function that does not directly support, develop, or improve your products/services - like facility services - can be outsourced. For example, outsourcing your business’s cleaning needs to janitorial contractors allows you and your team to concentrate on your core competencies and mission-critical objectives, not cleaning your facility.
Reduce Costs
Cost-savings alone can be a good enough reason for businesses to outsource tasks like cleaning to janitorial contractors. As you well know, retaining in-house employees is a very expensive endeavor, and in-house facility services personnel are no exception. What value do these employees add to your core business function? The answer is most likely little to none. But you still have to pay for those individuals’ payroll tax, salary, and benefits package (insurance, 401(k), vacation and sick pay, etc.), not to mention numerous indirect costs like tools and equipment, management, and training.
Available Expertise
Just like your company has expertise in a particular field, outsourced facility service providers are highly specialized companies, whether they be janitorial contractors, landscapers, or mechanical maintenance contractors/handymen. They have the experience and expertise to manage your facility better than you do because it’s what they do. And they are always at the forefront of technological advancements in their industry, ensuring that clients are receiving the best efficiencies in facility operations.
An outsourced facility services provider, such as a janitorial contractor, affords you a higher level of service at a lower cost, bringing world-class capabilities to your facility not otherwise available from in-house resources.
Scalability
Another word for scalability: flexibility. Outsourcing lets you easily adjust the level of staffing for facility operations on an as-needed basis, helping you control operating costs and easily adjust for changes in staffing and service requirements.
