Last month, Laurie Sewell, Servicon Systems President/CEO, was interviewed on the challenges of employee engagement in the cleaning industry.
"Sewell’s approach to employee engagement is a little different. Servicon doesn’t have an employee engagement program, per se, but rather a company philosophy that breeds loyalty and creates what she calls “net promoters” — employees who are happy enough with their jobs that they advocate for the company in front of customers and potential employees."
Laurie Sewell goes on to say that building a culture of trust and learning will create loyalty; "We make sure our cleaners or custodians have the right tools and training and understand the value of their work. Workforce recognition and celebration should be the icing on the cake."
