One of the most frustrating challenges facility managers face is the labor shortage in janitorial services due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With more COVID-19 variants of concern emerging, maintaining a clean and healthy facility is critical, “said Mike Crippen, Founder & CEO of SOLIDSurface Care. “Demand is increasing for deep cleaning and sanitation of various surfaces. Yet, the cleaning industry is experiencing a severe labor shortage. As a result, many businesses rely on outsourced specialty care companies like SOLID. Our processes ensure occupants are confident that their spaces are healthy and clean.”
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 314,900 openings for janitors and building cleaners per year. Many of those openings result from replacing workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the industry, causing a labor shortage.
Specialty Surface Care Providers Can Fill the Gap
Danny Moore, facility manager for OceanX, a fulfillment provider for beauty and health brands in Arden, NC, had this challenge.
“Our janitorial team must periodically clean high touch surfaces 2 – 3 times throughout the day,” said Danny. “Occupants of the building like the optics and feel safer when they see people cleaning. So, using a company like SOLID to supplement our efforts in carpet cleaning and other specialty services makes good business sense.”
