Job satisfaction isn't always great in a lot of industries, the cleaning industry included. Building service contractors particularly struggle to keep employees around, causing them to go back onboarding and hiring processes. However, some things can be done to better ensure that employees stick around, whether that be at a commercial cleaning company or jan/san distributor.
By making employees more interested in their work and enthusiastic about what they do, businesses can improve their retention rates.
