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, vacation and sick pay, etc.), not to mention numerous indirect costs like tools and equipment, management, and training. Outsourcing your cleaning services to janitorial contractors and other similar services to a contracted facility services provider can help you control operating costs and establish a budget, freeing up capital that can be invested in your core business at a higher rate of return.
