Thank Your Cleaner Day is a special day once a year dedicated to all cleaners and gives you the opportunity for you to thank the people who keep our workplaces and public buildings clean, safe and hygienic.

The last few months have clearly demonstrated that the buildings we are returning to, whether that’s as employees or visitors, are radically changed environments. It is inevitable that technology will play an essential part in getting people safely back into work, particularly through the use of smart technology.

​The labour market is tough at the moment, however a number of key sectors continue to appoint new staff. But how are they welcoming new starters into the business when a face-to-face induction is not always possible?

​Cleaning is one of the most important industries in the world, even more so as we continue to navigate our way through the pandemic, yet the majority of the people undertaking this vital work can go unnoticed. Every day, tens of thousands of skilled, hard-working cleaning staff are onsite to ensure commercial premises are safe and ready to go for each business day.

​Your workforce is your greatest asset but also your largest overhead. Managing a large, dispersed workforce can be a huge challenge, with customers now requiring more robust service level agreements and evidencing service delivery. Knowing your staff are on-site as planned can be critical.

​The digital streamlining of payroll should be a priority for employers, regardless of industry or size. That’s why there is an emergence of new technologies that aim to transform payroll for the benefit of both employers and employees, and more so in commercial cleaning and facilities management sectors.

Ezitracker is launching a series of 30 min webinars on its Workforce Management Software Technology. Aimed specifically at commercial cleaning contractors and FM companies, we would like to invite you to join us for our introduction webinar in August.

​Following the UK government's announcement that trade shows can re-start on 1st October, the Manchester Cleaning Show is ready to host a safe and quality event experience for all of attendees 14-15th October.

By streamlining payroll processes and adopting intuitive cloud-based management technology in your FM or cleaning company can be a two-fold initiative; meaning both the employer and the worker get to realise the benefits. With many systems already under pressure, payroll is a drain on administration and often takes several days to complete.

The industry body for the cleaning and hygiene sector, the BCC (British Cleaning Council) has published a guide to cleaning terms to help the UK economy reopen safely following the Coronavirus lockdown.
