CIPS Exam L4M6 Topic 8 Question 58 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L4M6 exam
Question #: 58
Topic #: 8
[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.

I bet the cleaners were too busy trying to figure out how to use a mop and bucket to read the contract. Rookie mistake!

Communication overload? More like communication underload! The cleaning company clearly dropped the ball on this one.

Distortion of the facts? I don't think so. The issue here is that the cleaners were not informed about the required products.

Definitely poor communication. The cleaning company should have read the contract thoroughly before sending their team.
