[All L4M6 Questions]

A company has just hired a new cleaning firm to clean their offices. The specification for the clean was detailed in an appendix in the contract and included a list of pre-approved products that the cleaning firm should use. The cleaners that were sent to site had not read the contract and therefore did not use the appropriate products. What is the reason for the failure of this?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

This is an example of poor-communication. The information was not passed from the person who signed the contract to the staff on site who were to do the cleaning. See p.158 on communication issues.

The cleaning firm should have double-checked the contract to avoid this mistake.

I think it's a combination of both poor communication and miscommunication. The cleaning firm should have been more diligent.

But couldn't it also be miscommunication? Maybe the cleaning firm didn't receive the proper instructions.
