Tips & Tricks, UG2 in Action

Navigating the Return to Work Inside Office Spaces

By Stu Collins

How Commercial Buildings are Leading the Way

Commercial office buildings and properties are the pulse of our cities and suburban centers, and, after two years of upheaval and uncertainty, their robust return is delivering communities a much-appreciated sense of normality and optimism.

Visitors, tenants and employees are back, and they deserve to be welcomed by pristine workspaces, gleaming conference and kitchen spaces, neatly kept trash and recycling areas, and well-stocked and sanitized restrooms. Ensuring that even the highest-traffic areas remain squeaky clean builds confidence, comfort, and a competitive advantage for our customers. TeamUG2 account managers, porters and janitors are out front and ready to ease concerns about safety in the workplace.

Day after day, long before visitors arrive and well after the last employee has gone home for the night, TeamUG2 professionals are taking expert care of commercial properties, from Class A office buildings to office parks and lifestyle centers.

Our teams bring the benefit of having worked on the frontlines through the pandemic, adapting to new information and refining best practices. As thought leaders, we take pride in sharing our insights so that the industry and larger community can benefit from all we’ve learned.

Here’s how TeamUG2 is making commercial building maintenance better than ever: 

360-degree cleaning services. We continuously refine our cleaning practices to respond to changing conditions and to your evolving needs. We excel at everything from core services like restroom, conference room and kitchen disinfection to specialized offerings like green cleaning/LEED Compliance and quality management reporting, and waste stream and recycling.

Stellar operations and maintenance. Our O&M track record is unmatched, and we have an expansive menu of services to meet your needs, from plumbing and electrical to wastewater treatment and critical alarm monitoring. We hire and train top talent, provide ongoing professional development, and boast an employee retention record that outshines our competitors — so our front-line employees and their managers know their role inside and out.    

Responsive tenant services. We know that today’s environment demands that you maintain a competitive advantage as you work to attract tenants or employees and keep them happy. Our à la carte menu of services allows you to tailor our expertise to your precise needs, from event coverage and moving services to snack wall provisioning to concierge and workplace services to porter services.

Meaningful adoption of innovation and tech. Data and technology are becoming more and more integrated with building management systems. Staying on top of our game means understanding how data analytics can drive preventative, corrective, and predictive maintenance. We know that different customers have different levels of in-house expertise when it comes to using data, and we prioritize taking the time to interpret and communicate an understanding to tenants, property managers and stakeholders.

Elevated services for a higher level of confidence. UG2 ReNew was developed to keep everyone safe by minimizing risk of infection and ensuring that we are taking every measure to protect our customers and their visitors, tenants, and employees. The program delivers heightened levels of cleaning and disinfection along with maintaining adequate levels of staffing with employees who are specially trained in the services our customers rely on.

When it comes to the big picture, what makes these services work is our willingness to work with you. Together, we can come up with an effective plan to give your property the attention it requires, so that you can focus on your core business.
