Training and Education
Each employee receives personal training from Mary Ellen and Sheri, as well as our field managers Patty and Jan. All throughout the year employees are required to attend continual education/training workshops sponsored by vendors, manufacturers, or internally. Corporate Cleaning Inc. holds staff meetings monthly to discuss potential training opportunities before they appear as a problem. The principal management team has attended the Spartan Chemical of Ohio Green cleaning educational program and has an on staff member who is a LEED Accredited Professional. We have established 5 green teams within our company, each with a dedicated team leader. These teams meet monthly to introduce and maintain the green cleaning principles, procedures and products, so that our professional staff can be the best trained in the business. We offer and require our staff to annually attend 24 hours of continuing education classes, including the Nichols annual Green Facilities Conference and MIOSHA Custodial Safety.
