Replacing commercial floors or even having them installed in a new facility is a significant expense for most companies. It’s a good idea to think about this as an investment rather than an expense, but however it’s viewed by the company personnel, it’s important to hire the right personnel to take care of them.
Even a basic concrete floor needs regular maintenance, especially if it sees a lot of usage throughout the day. If you hire the cheapest possible maintenance personnel you could find, offering them few benefits, you’re not going to be getting the top level personnel in the first place.
Here are four reasons why it’s so important to hire the right maintenance personnel for your particular company.
Reason #1: Safety.
First and foremost, your floors are going to see a significant level of traffic, whether it’s employees, clients, customers, or other individuals coming and going. Safety should be a top priority.
Hiring the right maintenance personnel means you’ll know those floors are being looked after at the end of the day and throughout the day to clean up any potential hazards.
Reason #2: The investment.
Spending tens of thousands of dollars having a commercial floor installed is a significant investment for any company. No one should have to replace that floor within two or three years. With the right maintenance personnel, you won’t have to.
Reason #3: Experience makes all the difference.
An experienced maintenance personnel will know how to properly strip, buff, wax, clean, and maintain the commercial floor surface itself. Somebody without experience is more likely to choose the wrong products, cleaning solutions, or even equipment and that can cause damage to the floor.
Reason #4: The right personnel will be able to quickly repair any damage.
From time to time there is likely going to be some damage to the floors. This can be caused by somebody dropping a heavy object on it, dirt getting in between the seams of the linoleum tile, or anything else. Subcontracting out the repair job may not be economically feasible.
Hiring the right floor maintenance personnel will help to ensure they know exactly how to diagnose or spot problems people before they become hazards, address them, and repair them in a timely manner.
