When it comes to running a business, collaboration is key. As much as you’d like to think your business is 100% independent, there will be various tasks that you simply cannot do yourself. Businesses supporting other businesses is a big part of everyone’s company’s running smoothly, and we don’t mean in terms of sales and worth.

There are a wide range of tasks that you perhaps don’t even realize are causing your company a headache but that could be easily rectified by employing the services of an additional business.

Here are three types of companies you should employ to deal with menial tasks that could quite easily cause issues if left unattended.

1. Cleaning

It’s no secret that offices are a hub of bacteria and germs. The problem is, very few employees want to or have time to clean up – especially larger communal areas. What results is mess which doesn’t look good, but that also causes tension amongst co-workers. For example, how many arguments do your employees have about the state of the microwave? Perhaps it’s the way the toilet is left that causes friction between colleagues? Whatever the specifics may be, one thing that’s certain is mess results in conflict, and this can greatly affect productivity and how smooth your business runs.

Avoid the kerfuffle by employing the services of a cleaning company. There are endless commercial tile and grout cleaning companies who would be glad of the custom and who are equipped to do a stellar job. By the time they’re done wiping down surfaces and vacuuming the floor there won’t be any germs left, let alone anything that your employees can argue over!

Paying a cleaning company to clean your workspace three times a week will definitely pay off in the long run, especially for your staff who don’t have to worry about finding the time to clean in between their everyday tasks.

2. Waste Management

There are various types of waste that workplaces create, and it’s essential that you dispose of it in the right way. If your business produces chemical, industrial or manufacturing waste, your local council will likely not be responsible for disposing of it.

Hefty fines can be imposed on businesses who fail to dispose of their rubbish in the right way. This can lead to an unnecessary headache. Rather than risk it, hire the services of a waste management company. They will dispose of your waste in the best way and will ensure you don’t have to stave off fines from the local authorities or risk your bins not being collected at all.

In addition to general waste, you should be employing the services of a sanitary waste company for the toilets – specifically female toilets where sanitary waste needs to be disposed of correctly due to its nature.

3. Parking

Are you tired of arguing with businesses nearby because they routinely park in your designated car parking spaces, leaving your employees with nowhere else to park? Passive aggressive notes and phone calls can only do so much. Rather than wasting your time and energy on neighbor wars, hire a parking company like Country Wide Parking to keep on top of the parking situation for you. Whether it’s through the installation of car park cameras or a physical parking warden keeping track of things, not having to worry about where your employees are going to park is a big weight off your shoulders.

Summary

So, why not hire these three types of companies and see how much smoother your business is able to run as a result?
