OPERATION MANAGER

Oversee daily cleaning operations

Your cleaning manager is a key player in ensuring staff consistently delivers high-quality cleaning. For example, they use time management to assign tasks and delegate specific areas to different cleaners, making the process both thorough and well-organized.

Manage supplies and inventory

Keeping track of cleaning and hygiene supplies is crucial to avoid any disruptions in your daily operations. Therefore, it’s your cleaning manager’s responsibility to make sure there’s always enough stock of all necessary products. That includes basics such as hand soap and toilet paper, as well as paper towels, cleaning cloths, and wet wipes.

Ensure compliance with health and safety standards 

Cleaning managers are responsible for making sure all cleaning protocols meet health, safety, and hygiene standards, taking care of the wellbeing of your employees and visitors. For instance, in the foodservice industry, restaurants have strict guidelines they need to follow to serve meals safely. Some of those practices might include, making sure cleaning chemicals are kept away from food preparation areas and cleaning all surfaces frequently. [1]

It's your cleaning manager's job to get informed on the unique requirements of your facility and to arrange for cleaning staff to upkeep those standards. 

Budgeting and cost control 

Cleaning managers need to balance effective cleaning with the allocated budget for staff and supplies. Nowadays, it is also common for impact on the environment to be an important consideration. Therefore, they can do themselves a favor by selecting efficient products made with efficiency and sustainability in mind, especially in high-traffic areas like restrooms.

For example, products like Tork toilet paper dispensers are designed to deal with the wear and tear of high-traffic environments, which can lead to lower replacement costs. Or for instance, our Tork PeakServe® paper hand towel dispensers, with one-at-a-time serving, help control consumption and increase hygiene levels. Not only that, but they can also hold as much as 250% more paper towels*, meaning less maintenance and a reduced risk of run-outs.   

Controlling costs while also considering sustainability is a fine balance — one that requires smart decision-making andresource management. That’s why at Tork we make the choice easier by also offering you a range of carbon neutral certified dispensers, sustainable packaging, and even refills made from 100% recycled or recyclable materials.
