By investing in training and continuous development, a cleaning team member will feel more valued as a member of the team. This leads to an increase in morale, a reduction in sickness and, perhaps most importantly, the cleaning team member will become more productive and will be able to grow within the company, taking on more and more responsibility as if it were their own.

In addition to increases in efficiency and productivity, training will lead to a cleaning team member being less wasteful when using cleaning chemicals and less likely to be using inappropriate products, which can be costly and ineffective, if not downright dangerous. Another area where costs will be reduced is through training a cleaning team member to care for their cleaning equipment. Proper routine cleaning and maintenance of machinery and equipment will increase their useful working life, thus significantly reducing costs.

If the proper emphasis is placed on all Health and Safety issues within the overall cleaning system, cleaning team members make a valuable and measurable contribution in ensuring a safe working environment for all users of the worksite. The main area of concern for a cleaning team member is to take steps to ensure that all staff are aware of the dangers associated with the use of potentially harmful cleaning chemicals and cleaning equipment. To achieve this aim it is essential that they are properly trained in their safe use. A principle aim of our training course is engendering a positive attitude towards health and safety throughout the workforce.

Training in specialist procedures will lead to greater opportunities. Any company or individual cleaning team member that places an emphasis on staff training and development will be in a better position to adapt to the changing demands of the customer base.
