Topic #: 9
[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 think it's a combination of poor communication and miscommunication.

Distortion of the facts? Nah, the facts are pretty clear - they didn't use the right products. Time to clean up their act!

Miscommunication? More like no communication at all! These cleaners must have been living under a rock.
