The Scrub

Employee retention is key to an organization's competitiveness and productivity, and the key to retention is employee appreciation. 

For this episode of The Scrub, we asked multi-industry credentialed professional Gloria Strauthers from Exodus Management and Consulting to share some employee appreciation secrets.

The Great Resignation is here. In the post-Covid age employee retention is a major topic. But in the jan/san industry, high employee turnover is nothing new. In jan/san, employee turnover averages two hundred percent.

Though high rates are common in the industry, keeping employee turnover low should be a priority. Employee retention is key to your organization’s competitiveness, productivity, and culture.

In this week’s episode of The Scrub, Caden and Sam tackle the age-old problem of low employee retention. Answering questions like why turnover for janitors is so high, and what you, as the employer can do to mitigate the cost to your business.

The Scrub welcomes it's first guest of Season 2, Dave Thompson from the Academy of Cleaning Excellence!
