Either way, you’ll need to consider how to make your workplace safe for your staff to come back to. If there is any chance at all that your workplace has come into contact with the virus, the only way to guarantee the safety of staff and visitors to your building is to ensure that there is a full deep clean of every area.
We understand the importance of doing this properly. And we understand that many organisations are considering how to do this whilst facing budgetary difficulties.
To help you navigate through the uncertainty, we’ve put together a comprehensive range of options for deep cleans and ongoing workspace hygiene to support our clients. We are mobilised and ready to implement bespoke enhanced cleaning regimes, best suited to your business needs.
What does it take to make a safe workspace that your people can return to with true confidence? A tailored professional cleaning and sanitisation strategy whose effectiveness you can measure and report on. And one that makes your workspace look and feel hygienically clean.
Your staff and guests can flourish again in an environment totally geared to their wellbeing. This is no longer about just deep cleaning the office: that’s just the beginning.
- A strategy unique to you
We work with you to craft a service solution that’s as unique as your building and how it’s used. First, we make a complete assessment of your requirements. Then we build a highly optimised strategy by applying LEAN and Six Sigma thinking, and analysing data and trends. The result is the most efficient strategy for managing a healthy workspace for your people as they return.
- Sanitising your workspace – how it’s done
We plan our complete hygiene service with an organised workflow geared to achieving peak sanitisation levels. Regular cleaning programs are backed up by deep cleaning services, such as chemical-free cleaning and fogging with a 99.9% kill rate.
We deploy our staff as a visible, reassuring presence during the working day. They are supported by innovative methods. We offer ATP surface swab testing, UV-C deep-sanitising lamps, and air purification systems that remove 99.9% of airborne viruses, pathogens, dust and pollen.
- Artificial Intelligence/Internet of Things (IOT)
We use discrete sensor technology to monitor how the building is occupied at any given time, so we can apply our resources accordingly. Samsic team members receive customised alerts that show them where to focus in real-time, e.g. washrooms. We can measure such factors as desk occupation, proximity, fill levels and air quality. Data is stored securely on the cloud for easy reporting on service trends and patterns, and to support performance monitoring.
- Co-Botics robot technology
We have adopted the next generation of cleaning technologies to complement our teams and maximise our productivity. Vacuums, sweepers, scrubber driers and glass cleaning devices complete repetitive tasks such as large area vacuuming or sweeping. This frees our onsite teams to focus on hygiene-centred cleaning of touchpoints, washrooms, meetings rooms and reception areas.
- Touch-free washrooms
We can create a touch-free or low-touch washroom environment for you, by introducing innovations like motion-sensored sanitary waste bins and towel/tissue dispensers. We can even retrofit motion sensors to make washroom taps touch-free.
- Re-inventing your reception services
As we emerge from the pandemic, we are seeing reception areas transition from functional and formal to more flexible spaces where your people can intersect and collaborate. Trained staff hosts help to create a sense of reassurance and belonging. The experience is enhanced by colour, signage, flowers, scents, art and other design features that enhance your brand and ethos.
- Facilities Management is evolving to Workspace Management
Facilities services, whether single or bundled, don’t have to stay in fixed and separate categories. There’s a move now towards a more integrated service – workplace management – where our team members are multi-skilled, intelligent and flexible in the way they apply our service model, so that it’s geared around your needs as they change. This organic, adaptable mindset is especially important as we meet the daily challenge of protecting your buildings and people from the effects of the pandemic. We have developed staff learning plans with this intuitive customer service in mind.
For example, an NHS client relies on cleaning staff to double as reception cover on busy days: they consider us “one team” with theirs. Other clients rely on our security officers to manage distancing of staff, or covering the facilities helpdesk when the team is busy.
- Shared and flexible workspaces geared to wellbeing
With a post-pandemic shift towards a blend of home and office working, workspaces are becoming shared and flexible. We can help you manage workspace on demand for your staff, and provide a service that centres around their wellbeing.
After being given a set of guidelines this weekend on how to move forward and get businesses running again, we have a roadmap on how to safely begin to welcome colleagues back to work.
Here at Samsic UK, we’re ready with a strategic approach to helping you create a safe, hygienic workspace.
We have a full re-mobilisation plan for our clients that have been shut down during the lockdown, with clear steps on how we can assist in fully ensuring a safe return to business as usual.
Our 6 phase plan sets out the way we can, with confidence, repopulate client sites, beginning with a full site cleanliness risk assessment, identifying high-risk locations and additional hygiene cleaning requirements for critical control points:
- PHASE 1: Site risk assessment and sanitisation cleaning planning
- PHASE 2: Initial staff engagement
- PHASE 3: Engagement of staff and workforce vacancy assessment
- PHASE 4: Supply partner re-engagement
- PHASE 5: Staff briefing and training at site
- PHASE 6: Re-occupation

Touchpoint Cleaning
Workforce assurance is absolutely critical to staff returning to work, and regular cleaning of high traffic areas and well-used touchpoints will help to nurture confidence in building safety. Alongside routine daily cleaning, we provide housekeeping and janitorial services focused on infection control activities such as sanitising shared surfaces, handles, printers, copiers and fixtures.
SELF SERVICE
We empower service users to build their own assurance.
Using smart device QR scanners and bar codes service users can report cleaning requirements, self-audit and comment on our services.
Workspace environments will become participatory spaces where site-based staff and visitors will complete their own hygiene maintenance.
Complementing our own routine cleaning services, we will support workspaces to maintain hygiene standards and offer building users opportunities to maintain their own hygiene safety, providing resources such as desk packs and spill stations.
User Engagement
Using smart device QR scanners and bar codes, your workforce can report cleaning requirements and audit our services, ensuring that no spillage or contamination goes unnoticed.
Consumables
Ensuring that workplaces are equipped with the right tools to keep staff safe and healthy will help to build assurance. Alongside the usual consumables and hand sanitising gel, we can equip each site with Spill Stations including spill kits consisting of gloves, goggles, absorbent pads and mats, waste bags and over-the-spill absorbent sheets to maintain workspace functionality and hygiene standards.
