Handyman in your company: outsourcing or permanent employment?

Getting your company's entrance hall painted. Fixing a leaky faucet. Cleaning out the gutters. On the average business handyman's to-do list are a wide variety of jobs. You then have two options: find a separate handyman for each job or contact a handyman company. They employ several handymen that you can hire for any job.

Handyman is cheaper

The salary cost, the uncertain schedule and the different profiles you need: these are just about the most common arguments for not hiring a regular handyman. This is understandable. Sometimes a light bulb breaks down. Or the toilet may be clogged. But you don't need a handyman all the time. So it's much smarter to make an agreement with a handyman company to send someone by once a week, once a month or once a trimester. As a company, you then just hand over your to-do list, and done. And the money you save with it, you invest elsewhere in your business.

One handyman company, dozens of handymen

As mentioned, sometimes the jobs in a company are so diverse that it's hard to hire someone else for every job. And so you expect flexibility from your handyman. But what if he or she is especially strong in plumbing and less so in carpentry? A handyman company therefore employs different profiles. Do you want the facade of your business painted? Then the best painter will come along. Do you want some extra electrical cables laid tomorrow? Then you'll get an electrician to come over.

What you get done is usually better

Iris, for example, is one such handyman company with lots of different handymen. They visit different companies every day for a wide variety of jobs. One thing Iris' customers do have in common: they know it's done right.
