The most important asset in any organisation is its people. Hiring the right person and giving them the support they need to progress, creates a happy workforce. And happy employees deliver a better service, benefitting not only clients but the business itself.
That’s why investing in recruitment and training is so important to Calibre Cleaning. Here’s how we ensure we employ and develop the best staff for the job.
It all starts at the interview
Over the years, we’ve learnt that it’s vital not to ‘write someone off’ because of their CV. Not everyone is confident when it comes to expressing their qualities on paper but that doesn’t mean they can’t be a valuable member of our staff.
We believe interviews are key to ensuring we recruit a wonderful mix of people. Although all are from different backgrounds, the one thing our employees have in common is that they’re hardworking, determined and willing to work often unsociable hours in a physically demanding job.
Training is invaluable
A valued employee deserves to be given training opportunities to help them develop within their role. Continuous learning not only enables individuals to do a professional job, but it also gives them confidence and a sense of pride in their work.
It also provides achievements and experience to add to their CV, allowing them to progress in their careers. We believe that helping our people to succeed and feel fulfilled is key to retaining a talented workforce.
Rewards go a long way
As a company, we appreciate our employees’ hard work and feel it’s important to recognise their commitment and loyalty. That’s why we introduced a ‘Good Job Bonus’ meaning every team member has the opportunity to gain a bonus for the effort they put in.
This helps to create a happy working environment and is one of the reasons we have employees who have been with us for many years.
Creating a sense of pride
Cleaning is often unfairly perceived as an unskilled job so it’s really important to us that our employees understand they have a profession they can be proud of. Our staff are taught to perform their role to a high level of proficiency, maintaining exceptional standards and excellent attention to detail, meaning they are not ‘just a cleaner’ but a Cleaning Operative, with a respected and skilled career.
So, if you would like to be part of a growing company where you will be rewarded for your hard work and enjoy being part of a ‘family-feel’ company, then consider joining Calibre Cleaning!
