Do You Know What Your Cleaning Staff Are Being Paid?

The key to great cleaning personnel is taking care of them and treating them fairly. When you hire a cleaning company, you want to know you’re getting a great service. Knowing the company you hire takes care of their staff and pays them well is essential to knowing the job will be done well.

Are They Being Compensated According to the Value They Provide?
While appropriate pay rates and salaries vary by region, the important thing to keep in mind is that it’s not just about paying staff what society thinks is enough. They should be paid based on what they do for the company. Do they show up consistently, on time, with a great attitude, and deliver outstanding service? Then they should be compensated accordingly. 
The more that a staff member feels valued, the better they will perform their job. When people feel like an essential part of a team, it motivates them. They no longer feel like just a worker, they become an asset to the company, and it shows in their work.

It’s Not Just About Salary
Money talks, but when it comes to jobs and careers, there’s more to it. Do they have good benefits? Things like insurance (health and life), bonuses, and time off are major draws and help create a positive work-life balance.

Society is shifting. People are no longer satisfied just making money; they want to know they’ll be taken care of. They want to know they can still have time to enjoy their life outside of their job. And they want opportunities for growth. Cleaning Companies need to show employees they have the possibility of a future, and a chance at advancement. Rewards programs, raises, promotions, and continuing education are all big parts of this.

You Get What You Pay For
We all want a great deal. We want the service or product we need without breaking our bank, but we have to understand the value of what we’re asking for. Shopping for the cheapest cleaning company around may sound good to your bottom line, but that’s not always the best deal, and likely won’t get you what you need.

While paying more isn’t ideal, consider the quality of what you’re getting. You want a clean, safe, and sanitary facility, especially in the current post-COVID climate. Sure, it would be nice to find that cheap, but that’s not likely. And the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re getting an exceptional product is worth it.
