Classroom training consists of videos and brochures that review our systems, chemicals and equipment. On the job training allows the new employee to use the information learned in the classroom and implement that into actual work.

  • Do you have a written checklist of tasks to be completed?

    At ServiceMaster, what want to put our customer’s needs and wants first. In some cases our potential customers already have a checklist of items they would like to use which ServiceMaster can follow. In the case that potential customers do not, ServiceMaster can customize a checklist of tasks to be completed and frequencies of those tasks. Once we create that list we will then review with the potential customer to make sure everything is agreed upon by both parties.

  • Do you have a formal quality assurance program in place?

    Yes, we have a written inspection process that covers four key people. The service partner, account supervisor, operations manager and the customer contact person all see a copy of this inspection and sign off on it. This allows for any issues to be made aware by the ServiceMaster staff along with receiving feedback from the customer.
