Traning process

Hello, looking for advice on a training process for residential cleaning. Struggling to come up with a plan to help cleaners become successful. As of right now I been hands on training in person. As im growing and hiring team leaders i need a better training process as i can't always be there to train.

      Hey there Mayflower!
      Training is sometimes one of the most difficult things to do, because there's operational training like procedures and interaction. There's also development training for your teams and especially your team leaders.

      Doing a quick google search, I see there are cleaning videos available from ISSA residential and other big players in the cleaning space. I'd ask for demos & quotes from each of these and find which aligns best for your company. I don't think you're quite at a place where you can produce your own training videos, but that's always an option.

      I'm not sure about cleaning, but in the industry I'm in, downloading training videos and uploading it to my HRIS (ADP) is pretty simple. Overall, it can cost a few thousand but you'll never have to worry about it again!

  • I trained my strongest employee to be a trainer do now I never train employees. Also, this way each employee is trained with consistency bevause they work together on jobs and she can watch how they’re doing and get them to adjust as needed.
