USS have been helping keep nurseries, schools, colleges and universities clean for over 30 years and July and August are always two of our busiest months but what many people don’t know is that the cleanliness of educational establishments has an impact on academic success and student wellbeing.

Recent studies show clean learning facilities equals higher attendance rates, less sick days and better academic results.

Establishments should be cleaned from the top down with particular focus on spaces that are not easily reached during term time and flooring. Dirt, grime, glitter and crumbs etc. builds up over the course of the year despite regularly hoovering, mopping etc and deep cleaning can be easily carried out when the premises are not in use or less students and teaching staff are on site.

From carpets to hard floors to entrance matting, from kitchens and canteens to windows and ceilings and everything in-between, USS have got you covered for a successful and healthy academic year ahead.

Finally, If you would like more information about our Educational Establishment Cleaning services in southeast England, please do not hesitate to contact one of our helpful and friendly team. They will be more than happy to answer any queries, provide honest and impartial advice, and offer you a quotation at a time that suits you. Also, you can visit our social media for regular updates and information on educational organisation cleaning in Kent, London and South East.

Recent research indicated that 12% of cleaning companies struggle due to a lack of skilled staff and furthermore 68% of companies say that the skills issue is having an impact on their business and the potential consequences of this cannot be underestimated.

Lots of companies however are investing heavily in in-house training and external training courses and USS is no exception to this.  At USS, all new starters are enrolled on a comprehensive training program, further training modules and on-site training is provided throughout the course of the year and an annual refresher training course is undertaken by all staff.

Figures show that across the industry 60% of staff receive training and this is a much improved percentage on years gone by and the cleaning sector scores above the national average for training investment within the commercial sector which may be surprising to some but more still needs to be done.

In conjunction with the industry’s in-house programmes, the British Cleaning Council recognises that there is only so much that can be delivered without vocational training and have introduced a programme called Level 35 which looks at how more young people can be introduced to the cleaning industry and a Creating a Career in Cleaning campaign whose aim it is to empower potential and existing cleaning operatives to attain their career aspirations.

Cleaners are rarely noticed and yet contribute so much to the health and wellbeing of staff and customers by helping to create a clean and hazard free environment and as with any other commercial business, promotional opportunities and managerial positions are there for the taking.

So let’s change perceptions of the industry, encourage young people to consider a career in cleaning and hope that the government realise the importance of vocational training within the cleaning sector.

The post Cleaning Industry Skill Shortage appeared first on Unique Cleaning Services.

The reputation of the industry is that of low skilled and low wages.

The truth is though, that cleaning companies are really are taking a key interest in ensuring their employees are trained properly in order for them to offer a professional service in an ever evolving industry.

Recent data highlighted that over the past 12 months, there has been an increase of 175% in training courses being completed along with a 10% rise in overseas training so it is a global industry wide improvement that we are happy to see.

The cleaning sector contributes greatly to society e.g. employing millions across Europe, driving up standards, innovation and sustainability and with few barriers stopping people from working in the industry this means a growing number of job opportunities.

All of our staff are trained as a minimum on the following topics within one month of starting work with us with annual refresher courses:-

Manual Handling / COSHH / Fire Safety / Hand Hygiene / Personal Protective Equipment / H&S Awareness / Sharps Awareness

The levy enables companies to invest in workforce development and allows for best practice of management techniques and it can also help to encourage companies to look to sustainable solutions for the future.

Many employers across a wide range if sectors point out how apprenticeships can create a ‘win win’ situation for both employer and employee and we encourage the cleaning industry to support it and follow other industries that have been taking on apprentices for many years.

Staff that have been offered training and development within the organisation that they work for are more likely to stay loyal to their employer and furthermore it has been well documented that investing in the skills and development of our teams results in less absence, fewer health and safety issues and increased productivity not to mention a more professional image to our customers.

Specific areas when apprenticeships can impact positively in the cleaning sector include risk management, health and safety and hospitality.

Staff can learn on the job rather than having to try and put into practice something they have been taught in a classroom environment or hypothetical scenario for example a window cleaning apprenticeship would not only include the practical skills associated with cleaning windows but would also include carrying out risk assessments, using specialist equipment such as telescopic poles, personal protective equipment and pure water technology.

Get all of this right and the next generation of window cleaners will be experts in their field.

So whether the levy applies to you as an organisation or not, or if you are a young person considering working within the cleaning sector, apprenticeships are the future for cleaning, invest now and benefit long term.
