Honoring Our Cleaning Heroes
ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, is hosting the first-ever International Cleaning Week, March 24-30, 2024. Building on the success of National Cleaning Week over the past four years, this commemoration marks a significant milestone in recognizing the importance of cleanliness and cleaning professionals on a global scale.
UG2 supports raising awareness about the importance of quality cleaning and is privileged to celebrate the invaluable contributions of our dedicated cleaning staff nationwide, who work behind the scenes to ensure pristine clean, healthy, and safe environments for all.
As we honor this special week, we take a moment to celebrate the teams that embody UG2’s core values and commitment to cleaning excellence.
Working Behind the Scenes
Behind every tidy workspace, college campus, commercial building, public venue, or life science laboratory space lies a hardworking team that serves as the backbone of cleaning operations. From day porters and janitors to custodial managers and supervisors and every role in between, UG2 employees possess a deep understanding of the attention to detail needed to provide the best service to our customers.
Although these employees may work quietly or before/after operating hours, their impact on our customers’ facilities is tremendous. From ensuring smooth operations to mitigating safety hazards to assisting customers and tenants, or responding to timely concerns, they are truly the glue that holds every facility together.
Building a Culture of Appreciation
We believe that a culture of appreciation is paramount in fostering motivated and engaged teams. From employee appreciation events to personalized tokens of gratitude to words of thanks, we ensure that our cleaning team feels valued, respected, and appreciated. We welcome honest and open communication to make sure every team member has the resources they need to succeed.
Empowering Our Teams
At UG2, we understand that investing in our teams’ growth and development is crucial to maintaining the highest standard of service excellence. That’s why we provide ongoing training, support, and opportunities for advancement within our organization. By prioritizing continuous improvement and learning, we equip our teams to stay on top of industry best practices and the latest innovations.
As we celebrate International Cleaning Week, UG2 reaffirms our deep gratitude and recognition for the commitment and professionalism of our cleaning staff. Their tireless efforts and ability to meet high standards are the driving force behind the success of every facility we serve.
By ensuring that every space remains clean, safe, and welcoming, they fulfill a vital role in our organization. Let us continue to embrace the spirit of gratitude and recognition, not only during International Cleaning Week but every single day.
