When cleaning, most of us probably take our time. But as a facility owner looking to hire a commercial cleaning company, you understand that time is money. That’s why you need to know you are getting your money’s worth when working with a commercial cleaning company. To help, we put together a list of the top 5 KPIs janitorial service providers should be tracking.
What is a KPI?
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are quantifiable measurements that show how well a company is doing regarding business objectives. KPIs’ information is essential to developing strategies, making improvements where necessary, and guiding the company in the right direction.
In the cleaning industry, there are five categories of KPIs. Under those categories are the actual KPIs that your cleaning company should be tracking the metrics and measure progress. Full transparency of this information will help you decide if the company’s work is up to standard and whether or not to move forward with their services.
The five KPI categories are:
- Quality of Service
- Client Satisfaction and Responsiveness
- Cleaning Crew
- Financial
- Safety
Quality of Service
Cleaning companies should be conducting quality audits on:
- Individual employees, or their respective teams, to determine if additional training is necessary
- Location or department to see if improvements are needed
- Items and equipment to ensure they are functional
Client Satisfaction and Responsiveness
When reporting on client satisfaction and responsiveness, cleaning companies must record any feedback they receive, including:
- Customer surveys
