When onboarding a new client, our approach goes beyond just delivering professional cleaning services—we bring a people-first philosophy to every transition.
At the heart of our process is a commitment to integrating existing on-site staff into the Advanced Cleaning Services way, ensuring continuity, stability, and a seamless transition.
Understanding the Context
In most cases, when we are called in as a new service provider, it’s due to gaps in the management and efficiency of the current cleaning operations. This can result in inconsistent service quality, compliance issues, or dissatisfied clients. Often, this mismanagement extends to the on-site staff, who may lack the guidance, training, and structure needed to succeed.
We see these transitions as opportunities—not only to improve operational standards but also to empower the existing workforce with the right tools and training.
Prioritizing Retention and Stability
In South Africa, where unemployment rates are high, it would be irresponsible to overlook the potential of the current workforce. That’s why Advanced Cleaning Services takes a proactive approach to retain and retrain as many staff members as possible during a transition.
Our human resources department plays an important role in this process, engaging with staff to understand their concerns, assess their skill levels, and guide them through the onboarding process.
Through this collaborative approach, we achieve an impressive 98% retention rate of staff during client takeovers—a testament to our commitment to people and progress.
Training and Onboarding
To ensure a smooth integration, existing staff are introduced to the Advanced Cleaning Services way of doing things, which focuses on:
- Comprehensive Training: Staff are trained in advanced cleaning techniques, safety protocols, and compliance standards, equipping them with the knowledge needed to excel.
- Quality Management Systems: Employees are introduced to our I-Clean system, which ensures accountability and efficiency in every task.
- Strong Leadership: Site managers work closely with the team to set clear expectations, provide ongoing support, and foster a culture of excellence.
The Impact of a People-First Approach
By integrating the existing staff into the Advanced Cleaning Services family, we create a win-win scenario:
- For Clients: Continuity of service is maintained while our team enhances operational efficiency and hygiene standards.
- For Employees: Current staff gain valuable training, a supportive work environment, and the opportunity to grow within a professional organization.
Our people-first philosophy not only improves the quality of cleaning services but also fosters a sense of pride and accountability among the staff.
At Advanced Cleaning Services, we believe that excellence starts with people. By prioritizing staff integration and training, we ensure that every client receives top-tier cleaning services while supporting sustainable employment.
If you’re considering a change in service providers, let us show you how a smooth transition can drive exceptional results for your business.
