Quality Assurance at a Glance
At UFG Monterey, quality isn’t just a box we check – it’s the foundation of everything we do. We stand by our work with a simple promise: if you’re not satisfied, we’ll make it right, promptly and at no extra cost. This commitment to excellence is championed by our own Quality Control & Safety Manager, Josefina Morales, who leads our Quality Assurance (QA) and Training program. With decades of experience, Josefina ensures that every cleaner on our team is thoroughly trained, every procedure is audited, and every client receives the high standard of service that UFG is known for. When you hire UFG Monterey, you’re not just getting cleaners – you’re getting a dedicated partner who is obsessed with delivering consistent, exceptional results and will not rest until you’re completely happy with the cleanliness of your facility.
JANITORIAL SERVICES
How We Ensure Top Quality – Our QA Practices
The Importance of Quality assurance
In essence, our QA program is about accountability: we hold ourselves accountable through internal audits and we hold our service accountable to your expectations through direct feedback and guarantee.
Training: How We Invest in Our Team (and Why It Benefits You)
A janitorial service is only as good as the people doing the work, so we invest heavily in our staff’s training and professional growth. Here’s what our training program looks like and why it matters.
Comprehensive Onboarding
Every new cleaner undergoes a thorough onboarding training before ever setting foot in your facility solo. This includes classroom-style instruction and hands-on training. We cover proper use of each piece of equipment, cleaning techniques for different surfaces, chemical safety (including reading MSDS sheets and proper dilution of concentrates), and site-specific protocols. New hires also shadow experienced team members as apprentices until they demonstrate competence in all tasks.
Safety Training
Safety for our employees and your facility is paramount. Josefina Morales, our Quality/Safety Manager, leads regular safety workshops. Topics include OSHA standards, how to safely handle bloodborne pathogens (important for medical facilities), ladder safety for higher work, personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, and how to correctly use and store cleaning chemicals. We conduct emergency drills (e.g., what to do if a fire alarm goes off while working, or how to respond to an accidental chemical spill) so our staff are prepared for the unexpected. A well-trained team in safety is less likely to have accidents – protecting both our workers and your property.
Customer Service & Professionalism
We train our team to be professionals on-site. That means wearing the UFG uniform with pride, being courteous to anyone they encounter, respecting confidentiality (for example, not reading documents on desks), and being responsive to any on-the-spot requests when feasible. We remind our cleaners that they are an extension of your team while in your building. Many of our clients comment on how friendly and polite our crews are – that’s a trained behavior, not an accident.
Ongoing Education
Cleaning methods and technologies evolve, and we keep our staff up-to-date. We host monthly training updates, which might introduce a new microfiber tool that improves dusting, or a new floor care technique, or a review of the latest CDC disinfection guidelines. We also use these sessions to reinforce quality standards by sharing audit results (celebrating what’s going well and constructively addressing any patterns of issues). Ongoing education keeps our team motivated and at the top of their game.
Specialized Certifications
Some of our team members pursue specialized training for advanced roles – for example, becoming certified carpet cleaning technicians, or obtaining a Green Cleaning Technician certificate, or learning to operate aerial lifts for high-rise window cleaning. We encourage and often sponsor these certifications. What that means for you is that when you need a specialized service, we likely have an in-house expert to handle it correctly.
Leadership & Oversight
Josefina and our site supervisors serve as coaches and mentors. They conduct on-site coaching: working side-by-side with cleaners to demonstrate the proper way and correcting any bad habits. This field coaching is part of training too – it’s continuous. Our supervisors also do surprise spot checks to ensure the crew is following their training consistently when unsupervised. The culture we instill is one of pride in workmanship. Many of our cleaners have been with us for years, some decades, because we treat them as skilled professionals and support their growth.
Why all this training matters to you
It results in a janitorial service that is efficient, reliable, and high quality. Our team does it right the first time because they know how. There’s less turnover, so you see familiar faces. A well-trained cleaner works safely (reducing liability for everyone), works efficiently (saving you money), and notices things others might miss (preventing little issues from becoming big problems). Ultimately, our training program is an investment that pays off in the form of better service and peace of mind for our clients.
Continuous Quality Improvement – Our Culture
For us, “good enough” never is. Even when you’re satisfied, we’re still looking for ways to do better. We foster a culture of continuous improvement. How does this manifest? We might test a new eco-friendly product to see if it cleans just as well with an even smaller environmental footprint. We might implement a new app for our team to log their tasks and note any facility observations (like a faucet leak) that we can report to you. We regularly review our own performance metrics – if one account had a quality issue, we ask “what can we learn and apply everywhere from that?” This mindset means we don’t stagnate. As cleaning challenges evolve (hello, COVID-19), we evolve too – updating protocols, training, and communication so that our quality assurance adapts to new expectations and requirements.
Our “Make It Right” Guarantee
We can’t talk about QA without emphasizing our guarantee: Your satisfaction is our mandate. If something isn’t done to your expectations, we want to know immediately. We will send someone to fix the issue as soon as possible, typically the same day or night. Then we won’t just move on – we will figure out why it happened and prevent it going forward. Maybe that means adding an item to the checklist or re-training a specific crew member or adjusting timing. We take it seriously because we truly value our client relationships and trust. Many of our clients have been with us a long time; that loyalty is earned by being responsive and true to our word. We stand behind our work unconditionally – that is the UFG Monterey QA guarantee.
Experience the UFG Monterey Difference
In summary, our Quality Assurance and Training program led by Josefina Morales ensures you get consistent, high-quality cleaning with no headaches. We combine systematic processes with a personal touch: a rigorously trained team that still adapts to your feedback and needs. When you partner with us, you gain a dedicated ally who looks after your facility’s cleanliness as diligently as you would yourself. We invite you to experience the peace of mind that comes from knowing experts have it handled. Quality is not just a promise on paper – it’s a daily practice at UFG Monterey, and we can’t wait to show you the difference it makes.
