Q.What is UCS?

A.

Q. How is UCS different from other commercial cleaning companies?

A.

At UCS, we pride ourselves on our unrelenting commitment to quality and customer service. Two things make UCS different from other janitorial services and building maintenance companies: Our people and our approach to quality assurance.

Compared to many other commercial cleaning companies, our workers stay with us longer and get more formal training in quality assurance.

And, to ensure the highest quality cleaning services, we assign a Customer Support Manager, a Quality Assurance Manager, and an Operations Manager who are all actively involved in the day-to-day management of your account. We call this proprietary approach to quality assurance “Team Effort Account Management,” or TEAM.

Q. What kind of training does UCS provide for the cleaning staff?

A.

We provide two kinds of training. First, we provide extensive classroom and field training on how to perform the actual janitorial work to our high standards.

Second, all UCS staff receive formal classroom training in our Team Effort Account Management, or TEAM approach to quality assurance.

Q. Your website really emphasizes the TEAM program. What exactly is it and why is it so important to UCS?

A.

UCS has developed a proprietary approach to quality assurance known as the Team Effort Account Management, or TEAM approach.

The TEAM approach is not a separate quality assurance “program.” Rather, the TEAM approach is a unified business model that integrates and focuses all our efforts throughout the company on providing the highest quality in everything we do.

The TEAM approach is one of the key ways that UCS is different from other providers of janitorial services.

Q. How does the TEAM approach work?

A.

UCS creates a cross-functional account team to manage each customer. In addition to the cleaning staff assigned to your business, UCS assigns a Customer Support Manager, a Quality Assurance Manager, and an Operations Manager who are all actively involved in the day-to-day management of your account.

All members of your management team use electronic messaging and a custom-designed software program to track customer issues and activities, including:

  • Inspections of janitorial services, carpet cleaning & building maintenance
  • Service adjustments
  • Customer requests
  • Work orders for carpet cleaning, building maintenance or janitorial services
  • Requisition slips
  • Janitorial services quality assurance

All UCS staff are thoroughly trained in the TEAM approach. And, in addition to our TEAM activities, top management will routinely inspect your facility to ensure that the level of work performed meets or exceeds our high standards as well as yours.
