Fortunately, while there are signs of improvement in the job market, there are still 1.8 open positions for every available worker, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics1. However, even before the labor shortage, the cleaning industry was known for a high turnover rate, a challenge for many employers. Training cleaning staff costs time, energy and money. Even if an employee leaves soon after the process is complete, it can be expensive.
Training is a non-negotiable part of the cleaning onboarding process as it ensures employees understand how to protect themselves from workplace hazards and perform tasks correctly. While training is essential, there are ways to simplify the process and make cleaning tasks more efficient without skimping. One area to evaluate is the products you use. Below are product suggestions to simplify training and create efficiencies that save time and money while delivering exceptional cleaning results. This can help keep your operations running smoothly in the event of staffing issues.
Build a vending machine
An automatic dosing system delivers chemicals at exactly the right dilution rate at the moment of use. They require minimal training and reduce the workload of employees by eliminating manual mixing, measuring and pouring. They also eliminate direct contact with concentrated chemicals. Are you looking for an easy-to-use, fully intuitive spray and mop system that allows cleaners to be trained quickly and on-site in minutes. This helps minimize disruption to cleaning and allows new hires to start cleaning quickly. Additionally, a mobile dispensing system that can be filled at any available water source improves worker efficiency by eliminating backups of a utility closet. Finally, consider choosing a system that uses easy-to-read, color-coded cartridges. This helps ensure OSHA label compliance and allows new and experienced employees to easily adapt the cartridges to their cleaning task to get the job done with ease.
Simplify floor care without taking shortcuts
Proper floor care can take a lot of work and time. Find ways to make your floor care process more efficient, such as: B. Using an integrated floor care system that works on multiple substrates, with all parts of the system designed to complement each other. An integrated system can help achieve a high gloss finish efficiently without the guesswork of choosing the right product for the job. Consider a system that allows the use of a floor scrubber while stripping, eliminating the time-consuming and labor-intensive task of manually stripping floors. Using a scrubber also reduces worker exposure to harsh chemicals. A solid option is an easy-to-install and maintain system that will help your employees keep the floor shiny all day long.
Optimize available training materials
Along with hands-on training, use additional training resources that employees can easily refer to to reinforce the protocol. No matter how easy the products are to use, effective training is an ongoing process and even the most experienced employees may need a refresher. For example, consider putting up posters and blackboards in pantry cabinets that use images to describe the right way to use products. Also, encourage employees to regularly read the instructions printed on the product packaging. Finally, take advantage of the training materials available on manufacturers' websites. Resources may include brochures and videos that can be used to reinforce proper procedure and use of chemicals learned during hands-on training. Use of a variety of training resources that may be available will help ensure all users are using the products correctly.
Employee turnover is a reality that every employer faces. By choosing the right products and resources, employers can achieve efficiencies, streamline the training process, and achieve exceptional results despite staffing challenges.
