Cleaning Janitorial Services by Argus Janitorial – Inclusion
Welcome to Argus Janitorial (now part of OneNorth Integrated Facility Services), your trusted partner for comprehensive cleaning janitorial services in Spokane, Washington. As an industry leader with over 35 years of experience, we specialize in delivering top-notch commercial cleaning janitorial services, hospital-grade sanitation, and building maintenance solutions tailored to meet your unique needs.
Engaging Your Organization Through Disability Inclusion
An inclusive workforce gives you a competitive advantage. Northwest Center not only employs our own inclusive workforce, but we also place employees with disabilities at some of the largest and most successful companies in the U.S. We also run businesses such as OneNorth IFS that fund disability inclusion programs. The results include better customer satisfaction, greater employee retention, and higher financial returns.
Beyond Corporate Responsibility to the Bottom Line
120% Higher Productivity
A Walgreens distribution center where more than 50 percent of the staff were people with disabilities had a 120 percent increase in productivity.
37% Better Quality
Employees that Northwest Center placed at Amazon achieved work quality 37% higher than the general population, a perfect safety record, and better attendance.
28% More Revenue
Leading companies that actively seek to hire people with disabilities report 28% higher revenue, higher net incomes, and higher shareholder returns.
Disability Is Essential to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
More companies than ever see the value of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). But disability is too often forgotten when workplaces launch DEI initiatives—fewer than 30 percent of U.S. companies actively strive to include people with disabilities, according to Kessler Foundation research.
Northwest Center recognizes that disability intersects oppressed identities, such as Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Transgender people. When disability is not part of DEI efforts, it only increases the already high unemployment rates that people with disabilities face.
Our founding mission of disability inclusion in education and employment has evolved to include expanding DEI efforts across our divisions and services. As an organization that has lived inclusion since 1965, we integrate inclusion into everything we do: staffing, training, providing services for people with disabilities, and running our commercial operations. By beginning with an inclusive framework where all identities and abilities are valued and able to contribute, we see every day how inclusion benefits everyone.
