While hybrid is a boon for work/life balance for most employees, it inherently makes facilities management more complicated and difficult. And it’s time to invest in tools to help the facilities teams do work in the “dark corners”of the workplace with dedicated tools that are mile-deep vs. mile-wide. This can enhance functions such as equipment management, predictive maintenance, inspections and cleaning compliance.
COVID, the flu and other illnesses will continue to hinder productivity, increase sick days and affect employee satisfaction. As we move forward, it will be integral to effectively measure the impact and performance of our cleaning vendors and teams so we can answer critical questions that can help mitigate this. Is the work being done? Is cleaning quality up to snuff? Are we over-cleaning spaces that are not being used? Your employees are already asking these questions with insufficient answers while your wallet has a giant sized hole burning through it from the “needed to be done” cleaning work as you return to the workplace. Data-driven cleaning decisions are the future to ensure employee health & safety while being able to optimize costs.
