JEM Cleaning Limited, Commercial Office Cleaning Services and Contract Cleaning

Cleaning is one of the most commonly outsourced services. Some of the reasons for this include:

Basic cleaning tasks are standardised, with little variation among different enterprises.

The nature of the job and required standard of performance can be clearly defined and specified in a contract, unlike more technical or professional jobs for which such specification is harder to develop.

Many organizations which predominantly employ higher paid workers feel uncomfortable dealing with labour relations with low paid employees; by outsourcing, these labour relations issues are transferred to a contractor whose staff are comfortable and experienced in dealing with these issues, and their approach can benefit from economies of scale.

If a cleaner is unavailable due to sickness or leave, a contractor which employs many cleaners can easily assign a substitute. A small organisation which employs one or a few cleaners directly will have much more trouble with this.
