Management/Training

By most estimates, labor represents at least 80 percent of a commercial facility's cleaning and maintenance budget. Establishing solid management practices and investing in the right training are critical for running an efficient and effective cleaning and maintenance operation.

In addition, many professionals in the industry have little or no experience with the people management skills required for success in supervisory or management positions. We provide actionable information on hiring, firing, establishing training programs, incentive programs, conducting employee performance reviews and quality control.

Our sister company, Cleaning Management Institute (CMI), offers a wide range of training and education products in our online bookstore at www.cminstitute.net.
