Tip of the
Week:
Office Etiquette for Cleaning Staff |
| Company
policies are developed in order to keep all cleaning staff on
the same page. New employees are often-times unaware of the proper
behavior, or "office etiquette", while on the job. Even
long-time employees sometimes forget some of the simple "do's
and don'ts" of on-the-job behavior.
The following tips should be covered
with new employees and re-emphasized with long-tem employees:
- Do NOT use any property of the
client. This includes copy machines, fax machines, computers,
radios, stereos, calculators, etc.
- Do NOT turn on/off any equipment
belonging to the client while carrying out your duties.
- NEVER sit at desks, or open any
drawers, doors, cabinets, or any container not directly involved
in the performance of your work.
- It is NOT appropriate for cleaning
staff to read books or examine papers in offices or on desks.
- NEVER bring children, family,
or friends to work.
- Do NOT eat or drink any food,
candy, snacks, sodas, etc. that are in the offices – including
candy sitting at the receptionist desk – this is client property
and is for their employees and customers.
It is ok to purchase a soda or snack out of a vending machine,
as long as it is not being consumed in the offices where you
are cleaning.
- Do NOT make personal calls from
any telephone in the offices. If you use a telephone timekeeping
system, there should be a designated phone that is approved
for timekeeping or emergency use. Otherwise, check with your
supervisor on proper procedures for phone use.
- Do NOT take anything that has
been thrown away by the client. Misunderstandings can result
in cleaning staff being accused of theft.
